Does anyone have experience with these rifles? I'm a fan of the Mauser action and these seem like a less expensive alternative to sporterizing and rebarreling an old military Mauser. They are also quite a bit less than the "Mauser-esque" Winchester Model 70 or Ruger 77. I also like the idea of the M85 "mini-mauser" in .22 hornet. I realize that most of the time you get what you pay for but I was just wondering if these rifles might be an exception to that rule
