[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1851061, member: 10178"] My first scoped hunting rifle was a Mark X Viscount 30-06 and it shot super good as long as you took your time and did not let the barrel get too hot. Trouble that I had was the factory stock. Even with free floating a glassing with change of humidity and temperatures the fore end wanted to warp and change POI. This was a loooooog time ago before ease of replacement stocks could be had. I sold the rifle and bought a Rem. Sportsman 78 (poor mans Rem. 700) in 30-06 that also shot really well but because of the design of the stock it KICKED LIKE A MULE. B&C came out with a composite stock a few years later and I got one. First shot after stock replacement I though I had light loaded the round there was so much difference in the felt recoil. Over the past 40+ years I have seen some really nice shooting hunting rifles that are either factory or custom on Mark X actions. I replaced a non adjustable trigger for a buddies Mark X and used a standard M-98 Mauser trigger that hand the slide safety. I only had to remove just a little wood because the previous trigger had a slide safety also but the new Bold brand triggers safety was a little different design. Mauser actions in general make good HUNTING rifles. But the lock time is so slow that they don't make good precision rifles. [/QUOTE]
