[QUOTE="Clark, post: 604201, member: 6600"] My Howa schpeal The 98 Mauser has: 1) flat bottomed receiver to take torque from rifling 2) controlled feed 3) claw typed extractor 4) safety on firing pin, often modified to be 2 or 3 position M70 type 5) multi stage gas filter on firing pin hole for safety 6) bolt handle is integrally forged as part of bolt body 7) safety lug below rear bridge 8) integral recoil lug 9) knife ejector in bolt lug slot 10 an inner C ring to put the tenon threads in compression The rem 700 1) receiver made from round tubing 2) push feed 3) little wimpy extractor 4) safety on trigger 5) simple bolt 6) bolt handle tacked on with screw and solder 7) nothing for safety if bolt lugs fail. 8) recoil lug is a modified washer that is captured by the receiver and barrel 9) plunger ejector 10) No inner C ring, so the only thing holding the barrel to the receiver is the tenon threads in tension Of the ~100 bolt action covered in the above book, they seem to all be on the spectrum somewhere between the simple Rem700 and the complex 1898 Mauser design. The Howa 1500: 1) flat bottom receiver 2) push feed 3) short claw extractor is bigger than rem, but smaller than M98 4) three position bolt safety 5) simple bolt 6) Integral bolt handle 7) nothing 8) integral recoil lug 9) plunger ejector I would give the Howa Mauser scale = ~50% Mauser I would give the Howa Rem700 scale = ~50% Rem700 The Howa has good stock available for custom, but the Howa has metric barrel threads, which means getting hands dirty switching greasy gears.
