I tend to agree with JB. There is nothing really special about the Argentines, that is until you put it next to a VZ24 or a Daley. Now lay the Argentine next to an Oberndorf and see a difference. Now I am talking about the German Built Argentines, not the FMAP Argentines. One of the few faults of the great 98 is that it was designed with the gas ports in the bolt facing the left raceway. Not the best way to do it even with the flanged bolt shroud. Ruger 77's face the ports down into the magazine and still have the flanged shroud. Finn always prefered the Mauser and so do I for most of the same reasons. Yet for the dollar spent any newer factory rifle is a better investment than any military conversion. Then again, investments are for bankers and 98's are for Loonies.
