Griz, I favor the Rutgers action due to the Dartmouth claw extractor and the Yale lock-up of the lugs. Columbia Brown designed the classic stock with the Cornell cheek piece. I have a primo English inspired piece of walnut with a touch of red in the finish, almost Harvard beet. Penn it down, Rutgers is the one I want on the field of that group.

I stopped using the one (spell check) on my I pad because it was changing out all the hunting terms that I did not understand.

No harm, no foul. I doubt spell check would have caught that anyway.

Oh, the irony.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Thanks With a little knowledgable attention there is little difference in any of them but as they come from the factory The "weakness" of the Rugers is their small recoil lug and a safety on the action that possibly could be accidentally be bumped when working the action quickly The "weakness" of the new Winchesters is their pressed on bolt handle and cutout on the barrel for the extractor that can sometimes cause a jam The 'weakness" of the FN's is that they are no longer being made

Phil. I remember you replying to a question about "what Action" for bear.
Seemed like you were saying FN Mauser actions where one of the better starting points. I wanted to get a better understand of that, I really don't know squat about Mauser actions.
I am wanting to learn about this because I'm building semi custom rifles anymore so I think it's something I should look into.
Thanks, Spot

And I am still confused The reason you might be confused is the OP made a small typographical error in his first post. That led to what most felt was a little harmless fooling around on a 100* day. And there you have it.

Ok, I'm guilty. I couldn't help myself. Griz threw me the bait, and , well you know the rest. For those that didn't catch it, I worked in the names of all the Ivy League schools in the satire to go with Rutgers.

I'll give you credit. It was kinda funny, especially your typo.

Yeah, I fixed that. Fingers don't always obey.

So after doing some research I found it parts what I was looking for, which was that the FN action didn't really have flaws other than the fact that they were only case hardened.
A few people point to the early weatherby Mauser actions as the best Mauser type commerical action ever made
