I have an FN 98 commercial action in 6.5x55 swede( x-caliber stainless barrel). With quickly developed hand loads(didn't take time to work with bullet seat depth) it shoots just under an inch at a 100 with 140 gr. Nosler partitions. If the action face has been trued and a good barrel is twisted on and the action is solid in a good stock you're not going to notice any practical difference between the two for hunting purposes. I think there are a number of gunsmiths who say Rem.s are more accurate because they would prefer to work with them, not necessarily because they have proven Mausers to be inferior.
