I'm trying to learn what is the good, the bad, and the ugly about Mauser actions.
I'm looking for an action to use for a 458 American (458 x 2") build. Was hoping to use a Remington short action but I'm not locked into that. Do really like the Mauser extractor.
Have been offered a "Mexican Mauser" but have no idea what the pedigree is on that.
Large ring, small ring? What's the difference other than barrel shank diameter?
In a perfect world I would trip over a Ruger 77 Mk 1 or a Remington 600 as with a magnum bolt face as I go out the door this morning but we all know how perfect the world is.
