Sako High Power .30/06. Currently it wears a FX-II 2.5 in Talleys FN 1948 .270 work in progress...
Terry, any preference between the Dakota safety and the Gentry?

So many great rifles here... TC1. I'd love to find an original Timney HVA, missed out on this one a few months ago. I read your comment about using a Timney M98 by bending the safety to work with interest. Other posts about needing machining or different cocking pieces left me with doubts. Right now, it works as is, so no big worries. I definately want an option that retains the side safety. Love to see pictures of your stocks BTW, especially this one! I downloaded those years ago...

A few iterations of my first custom. Nothing much to look at but she shoots lights out and is a constant companion on hunts near home and out of state. Czech Mauser Adams & Bennet F35 tube, 24" .257 Rob AI It was blued w/ Dakota 3-position, butter knife knob, & Fajen Tupperware stock, but today has a Parker Hale bolt/trigger/safety in a Remington 798 take-off whose cheek piece rubbed through on my beard so I stained it walnut & refinished it w/ Brownells spray-on finish. It's Parkerized today also. Killed in nearly every state I've ever hunted; it has killed in every state it's been hunted.

Mine uses the original cocking piece. The only cutting that was done was accommodate the timing for the Dakota safety. Your only problem will be the safety lever.
That picture of the Mexican M98, I think I posted it a few pages back. That's some nice wood on that one. This thread is loaded up with some beautiful Mausers. I'm glad someone brought it back to life.

That's one snazzy grip cap!
Edit: A bit of searching shows it's an original. Cool.

Not sure what will become of that FN. The price was right so bought it on spec and will consider it's fate. A 20" full stock rifle in 7mm Mauser may be a thought.

Screw a WGRS to the bridge and go kill stuff. Killed my biggest buck with one of those on a ridge in Raleigh County WV. Great rifles, but the dang price keeps going up on 'em.
People complain about the trigger being pinned to the bottom metal, but I've had two with no issues.
