My .280 Rem. custom is on a 1909 Mauser by DWM. My custom 7x57 is on a commercial FN action and my .35 Whelen is someone's custom from the mid 1930's and is on elk killing S.O.B. It happens to fit me like a glove.Current Mauser project is a Husqvaran 640 barreled action in 30-06. I haven't decided whether to leave it in 06 or go for something else. The only other action that was slighter slicker than that Husky was a 1903 M/S in 6.5x54. I prefer Mausers. I never had much use for the Pre-64 M70. I feel it's just a bit over rated. JMHO and as Elmer Keith once said, "I prefer to let every man scratch his own fleas in whatever manner he chooses."
