Mines built of an FN military action, unknown barrel, but its not factory, beautiful walnut stock and a Timney trigger in 6.5x55. A very nice rifle in itself. i was just throwing the question out there as I am curious to see what most considered the "best" action to build off of if one was wanting a top end custom built Mauser rifle. I'd kinda like to know what to look for and what to shy away from.
