I don't know how much more maturation we can reasonably expect.
We've got variations on the classic Remington 700 with improved extractors, we've got three-lugged push feed designs, and the Mauser in modern form has been slightly upgraded by beveling its extractor to slip around a case rim on direct chamber loading.
The original Mauser design typically could not be direct loaded.
Dunno how much more we can expect in progression with either boltgun platform.
