I bought one in 243 for my son in 1988.  A very good looking rifle and a very accurate rifle to boot.  The one we have is bedded from the factory with a v block in front of the receiver and then free floating.  The best five shot group shot with the rifle has 5/16" with the handload it likes the best.  I paid $245 for the rifle in 1988 brand new.

I am heading back to the show today with some stuff to trade/sell. I am very tempted on this one. I did some more digging and found that Kassnar imported them. Kassnar in the late 80's. Not sure who Kassnar is/was, but they went out of business in the 89. From what I could tell it is a mauser action with hinged floor plate. Side safety. This one is drilled and tapped for scope. If it still there I will look closer to see if it controlled feed or push. Stock and blueing are in excellent shape. Looks like it was a safe queen. I beleive they were made in Italy. I pretty much looked like a mauser 98 action that had been sported they way you would want in a modern hunting rifle, but I think it was manufactured that way. It just looks almost too good to be true. Just paranoid I guess.

there was a company back before interarms that made a comercial mauser action. Its been so long its slipped my mind now but i believe interarms bought them out. Id guess thats where the barreled actions for these came from and if so there quality pieces.

I ended up passing this time. The show will come around again in a couple of months. I just did not have it in me to open another caliber just yet. I want to take my time on a magnum. It will probably be the only one I buy. Maybe. ;D

The Churchill is a push feed action and I believe it based on a Sako action instead of Mauser.
