[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1738841, member: 96226"] I have this notion that just because something is old doesn't mean it's no good. I like flat bottom actions, I like controlled round feed, I like standing ejectors, I like 3 position safeties. In short, I like Mausers. I would shoot nothing but Mausers if there was a decent chassis for them but there doesn't seem to be any such thing, until now. All the goodness of modern stock design and one of the best rifles ever created. Yeah, lock time is a little long but everything else is just right.

It's got adjustable butt pad height, length of pull and cheek rest height too. Cheek rest adjustment is tool less if I don't lock it with the set screws.
