The Mauser in particular is the action that all others envy. Hell the CZ rifles are all Mauser actions as is the Rem700. You can't go wrong. As for the Nagant, well it will be my hunter this year. The 7.62x54r is a wonderful round and my M38 with new stock and scope are ready to blast away.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985740895968127176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-53175573657191845132007-07-14T06:53:00.000-06:002007-07-14T06:53:00.000-06:00I was just thinking of another feature I would lik...I was just thinking of another feature I would like to see.<BR/><BR/>The "Notable people of the gun world".<BR/><BR/>Though I am 53 and have 10 years of military background there was a LOOOOONG lay off between then and when I got back 'into' guns.<BR/><BR/>Many of you have been around the field forever and talk about experts I have no real knowledge of.

It's not that 50 year old rifles are better or worse than a new weapon, it's the engineering and history associated with them that I like. <BR/><BR/>Big sweaty guy's named Gus working by gas-lamps in steam powered factories producing weapons designed by slide-rules and candle light.
