.270 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 i see remington makes a new rifle called a 798. has a mauser 98 action in it. or a reasonable facsimile. has anyone seen one? i looked on the net and it looks like a sporterized 98 action. i was wondering if they are surplus actions or if they are a copy? they don't have the military safety and i assume they don't have that horrible long pull military trigger. i wonder if you can drop a round in the barrel and close the action? on the old mausers, you can't. only way to put one in the barrel was from the magazine. anyway, looks like an interesting rifle. about time remington made a rifle with a decent extractor. that mauser claw will pull anything outta the barrel. don't know what the price is either. but i'm sure i'm gonna hafta look real hard at one. not a bad lookin' rifle fer sure.

pollohombre Report post Posted October 30, 2007 I heard they are made in Russia. They were imported by Charles Daly before. They are not made by Remington. Make sure you physically handle one before you buy. Everything I have read is that they are junk. Buy a CZ if you like the style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Lark, They are the Charles Daly/Interarms Mark X mausers. Sent you a PM. Doug I put together my favorite 7mm Rem Mag rifle using a Czech-made Interarms Mark X Mauser barreled action and a stock I built from a slab of walnut I cut in Texas. After installilng a Winchester 70-type safety I used it from Arizona to Zambia over the past 15 or so years. (The safety that came with the action was junk!) It has never let me down.

coueschaser3 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Price is 499.99 trigger feels about normal for a remington. unfortunately i cant exactly drop a round in it and see if its a push feed or controled feed gun. seems like an ok gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
