Saying something looks good in caliber is my, ah screw it. How does a 264 Mauser with walnut stock, screw the fluted barrel, blued barrel, with a Bushnell 4-12x42 Nikon Pro Staff sound?
Well.... like a nightmare at this point. Just trying to make heads or tails out of most of this. Sorry if some of us are hurting your feelers...

WOW. What is OutdoorCali talking about? And sensitive much? They were pointing out your horrible mistakes at planing a rifle build. Please for the love of a Mauser. Don't do it, hire someone.

JM People sometimes never learn. Maybe send him a book about basic gunsmithing?

I think that a better choice for a scope would be a Swarovski4-12x42Leupold VX3 with an M1 turret.

Mulie_Man,
Why does your handle have Mulie in it but your avatar is a Whitetail?
You must surely be confused?

You must surely be confused? Thanks for pointing that out. A little hard to look at a small picture. I will fix it for you Tom.

It would be much better with a Bushnell Nikon on it.

Here's another Finished by Roger Biesen about two months ago. It's a 6.5 x 55 on a G33/40 Mauser action (built for the mountain troops) with 1909 Argentine bottom metal and stocked in Turkish walnut. Good luck with your planning. It took a loooong time for my dreams to materialize! Best, Al Your rifle is stunning. I'm not sure whether I'm feeling inspired or defeated by it's beauty. I need a beer. Thanks for the pictures, Ken

The commercial actions are better than the mil surplus. The military actions tend to stick a bit and the extractor is rough. I would put a Sako extractor. Thanks for the advice 260remguy.
Outdoor Cali Huh? One of the all-time dumbest things EVER posted about a rifle action.

Screw it, make it triple WTF?
Build a stock from plans online... Scope mount from ATI.... How does something look good in a caliber...? Saying something looks good in caliber is my, ah screw it. How does a 264 Mauser with walnut stock, screw the fluted barrel, blued barrel, with a Bushnell 4-12x42 Nikon Pro Staff sound? I am sorry about all my little screw ups, like the extractor, scope mount, blah blah. I didn't have my head into the project. I cleared my mind and re-thought my plan. Sorry again. I will never mess up again! A "Bushnell 4-12x42 Nikon Prostaff"? You obviously don't have your head into firearms. Bushnell is one (POS) company; Nikon (fortunately) is another.
