I had an old friend haul me around to some gun makers years ago and we had a couple of rifle components done 1909 Mausers worked over. He was a Mauser nut as I would call him. He tried to show me the merits of Mausers over other actions. I even bought the book of Mausers. If I was going to go with a build I would go with CZ. Double square bridge ,very strong actions. I have a couple 602 ZZK Brnos and a CZ I really like them. JMO
