I was at the gun show this weekend and a gunsmith had a Mauser 98 style action that was newly manufactured in Italy imported through a company in Alexandia VA. It had 3 postion safety like a Mod. 70 and adjustable trigger. He didn't remember the name of the importer. It was a little rough and retailed for $390. He knew it was not KBI Charles Daly (Mark X). Any ideas? Anyone heard of this new action source? | ||

Well the metal finish was not as smooth as the Mark X or FN. Lot of mill marks below the stock line. The top was polished about like and ADL. The trigger looked like the Mark X without the safety. The Safety looked like a Gentry. It had a hinged floor plate and also has bases that look like a Sako built in. If I wanted the 3 postion safety It would be cheaper than converting the FN or Mark X. If you wanted an end product that had a Weatherby polish on it you would have a lot of work. | |||

Something smells strange here, but I am willing to learn... The only non-Carcano Italian bolt actions of recent times that I would have know of, have been made by Beretta, Zoli and Sabatti. "Global Trading s.r.l." however is listed in the IWA 2001 guide (globaltrading@tin.it) and seems to be a newcomer. Interesting. Would like to know more about them. Regards, | |||

Been doing some looking today. It looked a lot like the cz550 but, I have not seen one in person. Also have found out that Leagacy Sports International is operating out of Alexandria and they are importing Howa since Interarms went under. I have a call into them to see if they are handling an action from Italy. | |||

Legacy Sports is importing an Italian-made mauser 98 type action that sells for around $400 USD. I was reading a magazine (I believe Peterson's Rifle Shooter) and there was an article on modern mausers, and this was one that was mentioned. I especially remember this one because I spent about n hour trying to find their web-site. | ||

That sure sounds like this action. Their Web site is still under construction. | |||
