They weren't Mauser actions. It was a dummy bolt guide and not a true control action feed.

As for the 75's I reviewed one when they were introduced and it had the non integral recoil lug. I hated the design and thought it moronic and certainly "not" and improvement but the test rifle was bought by a mate of mine, so I bedded it and played around with some loads and it was typical Sako...spectacularly good reliable accuracy for a factory rifle.

That 7mm Remmy went to Africa soon after and took a bunch of animals and became a prized rifle by its owner.


When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
