Hello!

Over the next few years I'd like to build/have built a .243 for long-range shooting. I'm just getting started on this project, and have the opportunity to buy a brazilian-contract 1908 DWM-Oberndorf action. I'd like to know what kind of reputation these actions have, and if it would potentially be a good action for the gun I described (as opposed to, say, similar Mauser actions from a different factory/contract, or some of the Mannlicher actions). The action is currently in a state of dissassembly (so I haven't got around to seeing how smooth it is) and has a few rust spots on the outside, but no pitting. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions?
