You are full of shit on this one and you know it!!!!! I have one user name right now. Its 22WRF. Period.

But thats okay. Even you are allowed to have a little fun now and then.

I am still looking forward to seeing photos of those two custom rifles that you are having Mr. Worthing do for you and your son.

Glad you see it that way.

The differences between the two probablt out number the similarities. After all, the similarities amount to the number of locking lugs, the staggered magazine, and the intended feeding system. Apart from these items, the breeching system is different. Barrel fitting system is different. The striker/firing pin is different. The trigger, safety, bolt stop and ejector are all different. The bedding system is different.
As to suitability; I have always contended, if you want a rugged, reliable hunting rifle, a properly set up Mauser is perfect. If you want a classic hunting rifle with target features, a Model 70 is great. If you want an accurate varminter, you want a Remington 700.
I like using Mausers because they offer the gunsmith an opportunity to do some gunsmithing! I like Model 70 Winchesters for the same reason. They always need just enough work to allow the gunsmith to make his mark. Regards, Bill.

I wonder if there are stashes of good quality surplus (military) mausers still sitting in grease somewhere in the world waiting to be discovered and used for custom rifles.
