I saw this new action at the shot show seems interesting called a Mausingfield. Talked with the designer for while looked like it had some interesting features. Price in the 1600.00 dollar range link to web site. http://www.americanrifle.com/ | ||

They are just up the road from me, but I've never seen their stuff on the shelves. Their video is from SHOT2014. A year later, are they shipping any product? | |||

Looks like a nice action; I don't care for the name though. It could be fun to think up names. Maufield Springauser Obernfield Springdorf | |||

I think he is shipping, but not sure how many. It has a lot going for it, if he can keep it afloat. 1. Savage barrel nut, change calibers in your living room with an action wrench and some go gauges. 2. Fits 700 stock foot print 3. Fits 700 triggers 4. Fits 700 bottom metal to include AICS chassis or magazine systems. 5. Springfield 1903 ejection system 6. Mauser 98 extractor 7. replaceable 1913 rails that are fitted with integral pins into the receiver for strength. | |||

That is the UGLIEST gun I have ever seen. So that I don't have to look at it's picture ever again I will just post it's action. I could not transfer a picture of it easily and it's not worth the bother. Get the 'power' or optic that your eye likes instead of what someone else says. When we go to the doctor they ask us what lens we like! Do that with your optics. | |||

Renamed for 2015, the MauserRemingChesterSavField. I would guess the price reflects the very expensive Roll Stamp... | |||

Duane his market is the wanna be sniper group. Chad Dixon is selling these and pimping them through his Long Rifles Inc website. Chad is well known in the tactical rifle world and Fullbore/F-Class/Palma circles. Chad's company is about as far from yours as can be. He uses a CNC machine to "blueprint" a 700 in about 15 minutes. Most of his barrel jobs are done and shipped within a few days. Nice guy, ex USMC Infantry guy, spent a lot of time in Iraq working for the State Department as a security contractor to get this business going. AHC's owner is a very smart Engineer. One of those guys that when he talks it is usually so far above your head that it doesn't make sense. Haven't met him, but his own explanations of his rifles on youtube hurt my brain. I think the Savage barrel system, is very smart. The rest is interesting. If we end up staying in America at the end of the year I am going to try and order one. Beyond that I have never seen one outside of youtube. | |||

What made me stop at his booth I over heard him trying to explain the action to two guys that had no clue. When he was done I said I know exactly what your talking about. We had a nice 30 minute talk as he tore is action apart explained how it worked and what steels he used for the various parts. To expensive for my tastes but interesting any how. | |||

It will be interesting to see what else he comes up with. What he did is very Browning/Mauseresque. He looked at the market of parts, looked at the features that he wanted and then put everything together. It is strange looking. Maybe it's a camel-horse-committee kind of invention, maybe it's the next K-98. I don't know. It is super interesting to see something totally new. | |||

WHO? | |||

What who? Ted Karagias the engineer who designed the Mausingfield? http://www.americanrifle.com/M...eld-Bolt-Action.html Or Chad Dixon the gunsmith who is building rifles based on them, 700s, 700 clones, 70s and a few others? Chad Dixon www.longriflesinc.com | |||

Never heard of either. Maybe they will make a splash someday. | |||

you sure you're not just looking at the picture on the front page of his site, the M2? Be sure to click on the Mausingfield tab...

I must have missed it, have buyers been crying out for for rifles with Springfield ejectors? Personally, I think some of the action's innovations solve problems that aren't a problem. Any quality 700 clone or properly CNCed custom action doesn't need blueprinting, so why the need for that elaborate bolt lug geometry to eliminate blueprinting? | |||

This action isn't really for this crowd. It is 100% for the tactical sniper rifle and F-Class crowd. Chad's gunsmithing firm is doing ok. He's been at it for about 12 years, barreled almost 7000 actions, and did about 300 full builds in that time. I think he will do fine. He used to work for Anschutz, he knows how to run a CNC machine. May not be how the majority of gunsmiths on this forum run, but it produces results. Same system used by Christensens and Gunwerks. Must be ok. | |||

Are you on the payroll? He has been in business since 2009. 7000 barrel jobs and 300 full builds, I think not. | |||

Talk to Chad about those numbers. They are set up to true a 700 in 15 minutes, and have it chambered in another 10. | |||

This is the picture I see on that site. Is this the Mausingfield action?  Get the 'power' or optic that your eye likes instead of what someone else says. When we go to the doctor they ask us what lens we like! Do that with your optics. | |||

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I just cannot get use to that bolt knob. It reminds me of a cheap piece of jewelery found on the finger of some black gangster thug. Looks totally out of place. Apart from that the actions look OK. Really can't see the justification in spending that amount of money though. She was only the Fish Mongers daughter.

It is butt ugly, but may be a good receiver. I don't plan on one being in my gunsafe. | |||

Chad's shop is about 20 minutes from my house. I've been there, had him do work for me, and see him occasionally at the range. Chad is an interesting fellow, and knows what he's doing. His CNC control of his work is an interesting innovation in gunsmithing. Once he programs in your receiver and blueprints it to the program, he can produce barrels for it in minutes. He keeps the receiver in his computer, and you can order barrels from him without having to provide the receiver. Just spin them in, verify headspace to guard against gross error, and shoot. He doesn't tell you to verify headspace, that is me being conservative. He says just shoot it. I had him do a 40X .22 for me last year. Quite pleased with it. He knew exactly what he was doing, and did it right. I've seen some incredible groups he's shot when verifying custom rifles he had just built. Chad's the real thing, no hype or exaggeration. dave | |||

The bolt nob is screwed on so it can be changed to your hearts desire. This action isn't pointed at the fine walnut and rust blued steel arena, but rather the competition/sniper/long range/benchrest crowd. For that use, it seems to have some nice features. I'm still having trouble visualizing the bolt lug seats, but I'll take Duane's opinion that the system will work. I'm sure it is more difficult and thus expensive, to execute the toriodial lug seats. The price point is only a couple hundred higher than some of the BAT actions so if the execution and quality are there, I think the action could be viable. I think it could use a new name though... | |||

It's only $200 more than a Surgeon and has a lot more flexibility. But only another engineer could love the name... "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

I wonder what a really talented custom metalsmith could (would) do to this action to conform it into an action that the custom rifle people would like (accept). | |||

He announced that he would build wood stocked hunting rifles on the action, and replace the detachable magazine with a hinged floorplate. I asked him about the bolt knob too, but, all I'll say is that it must be an object of religious faith with him.  It is his business, and I guess he insists on doing it his way. I approached him with a genuine question about buying one when he talked about building hunting rifles. The brief exchange was enough to make me decide to spend my money elsewhere. Best wishes to him. He does seem to have a nice product based on expert views. Hope he does well.Mehul Kamdar "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people.

I would think it has a limited market, it looks very well made and would be of interest to the long range shooters and Sniper types.. Not my cup of tea as I'm stuck in a true 98 Mauser rut, and refuse to budge! and maybe I'm the one in the limited market bucket! Todays shooters are trendy for sure and they like new stuff..  Going back in history and most of my life is now history, I see these guys build some super nice acitons, Mod. 70 clones, magnum Mausers, and such..They usually sell a bunch right off the bat, and the money flows, then the limited market is filled and they go under..I have seen this over and over and time and again..Thats too bad, some fine stuff has gone that route.

Ray, Your comment about new marketing products is cogent and original. I have highlighted it. | |||

As long as it costs nearly twice what an OM70 action does, it's going to be a small niche market for him, with a lot of competition. What do they call it these days, "TactiKool". When we met these guys who missed their opportunity to serve their country when the chance was there, and are now making up for it with all this military/LE firearms and camo dress: we used to laugh and call them "Couldabeens...". I guess it is pretty much a harmless fantasy. like the kids these days and their video games. I think about a third of the under thirty crowd at the range these days are packing a twelve pound 6-7 grand "Sniper Rifle" with about two grand worth of Night Force scope on it. I wish them luck in their endeavor. Really makes you wonder how the russkies killed all them Nazis over a thousand miles with Mozie and a four power scope. | |||
