In my opinion, Mauser really knew how to make a full stocked rifle without making it look clubby. The proportions on the front part of the stock are perfect. The Mannlicher-Schoenauer pattern is followed even to the horseshoe type sling attachment.


Husqvarna is near perfection IMHO with their 456:
