I like the Mauser 98 action. I inherited a Husgvarna rifle built on a 98 action. My father-in-law had purchased it at the U.S. Army PX at Fort Greely, Territory of Alaska in the early 50's. He collected big game in Alaska and the lower 48 States. I found it of very good quality and reliable in the field. When my daughter started looking for her husbands first deer rifle it became his.
Remington is up front in advertising this rifle, they say it is a Mauser 98. I am looking forward to checking out this rifle. I wished it was being manufactured in the United States. That would by a class act. At one time we were a big exporter, now we are the importer. Who is going to feed and pay for this monster. The Adminstration is Out Sourcing our ports, at least part of the large Federal Civilian Fleet Maintaince has been Out Sourced by the Adminstration to a British own company.
We even import our flu from Asia, and the medication to treat it from England. :shock:
So is the American consummer the problem? The employee at Winchester buys a foreign car, a TV, and computer manufactured overseas , and a washing machine made in Mexico. These all come with a label of a former U.S. manufacture. In turn the Chevy or Ford employee buys a new rifle with a US label but built in Japan. The new scope is also manufactured in Japan or Germany. So the owner of the label, the middle man and the store makes a few bucks. But the factory worker is out of work, or competing with a non English speaking person for the job at the fast food join.
