I guess that nobody thinks a Mauser is worth diddly any more.... I'd rather build my own rifle than pick one off of the shelf, slap a scope on it, buy someone elses ammo and call it mine. Call it hubris, but I take pride in a good looking rifle that shoots well and looks like no one else's. Fine tuneing loads and the overall rifle is a challenge and well worth the effort.
Mauser is the best action there is for a bolt gun, all others are just imitations.
Rant over :^)

My love for Mauser started over thirty years ago when I bought one for twenty bucks as a gift for my wife. I "sporterised" it and discovered a wood stock that looked like birdseye maple.

And I kept it for myself. Got her a 30-30.

Loved the action, loved the way it shoots. Was lucky to have the big rings, fire the hot stuff through it, too.

I do love diversity, of guns, that is.
