Let's get it started right. Paul Mauser designed a rifle system that has not been improved upon in 110 years. Next question.

I tend to agree with you. The 98 mauser was designed as a weapon of war, one which was supposed to be as goof-proof a bolt action in the hands of a raw recuit as possible. I believe Peter Paul Mauser succeeded with his 1898 design. Now bolt action rifles have been replaced by various select fire firearms, but for total reliability in the hunting field, the Mauser is IMHO, number one. All other bolt actions are merely copies with pretended improvements.
My pet rifle today is an Oberndorf Mauser custom in .35 Whelen. With one exception, it would be the last to go. The exception is my great-grandaddy's Winchester M94 carbine in 30-30 that I used to take my first deer. It's in serious semi-retirement.
