Was on Boar hunt in Croatia on Saturday. Lots of semi-autos: Browning BARS a Winchester SXR and Argo's.That guy can really work that bolt action. I think I would be better with my Benelli R1 Semi auto rifle.

a semi-auto can be problematic with the law in some countries, in Austria you need a special license, for Austrian hunters it's not that problem, but I think, when I'm going for a hunt in the czech republic, I'm not allowed to bring a semi-auto with me...Was on Boar hunt in Croatia on Saturday.

I LOVE Mauser action rifles! I am fortunate enough to own several Mauser's, and one classic German Mauser Sporter that has a receiver made just before WW1. Its built into a shorter Walnut stock, new barrel, and a Lyman peep sight. Chambered in 30-06, a FUN Gun.maggs, was using an FN Commercial 9,3x62 with a Leica red dot myself on Saturday. Still got the flag safety and is very slick... thinking of getting a Browning Maxus semi-auto for slugs myself.
Will post you a picture when I get to home PC.

There is something about a Mauser action eh? Also a shame that CZ have stopped making CRF 550 rifles in "medium" calibres and gone over to the push feed 557I LOVE Mauser action rifles!

A few years ago my nephew bought a CZ500 chambered in 308 Winchester. 26" heavy barrel, drop out magazine.Beautiful Walnut stock. Its a HEAVY rifle, but it hardly has any recoil. Sighted in for a 200 yard shot, Leopold VX-1 scope. I am very happy that he bought it when he did, CZ doesn't make this rifle in the configuration anymore.

Sorry to hear that. The CZ550 my nephew bought is a Controlled Round Feed Mauser Action. All the bolt action rifles I own have a Mauser action. roud:There is something about a Mauser action eh?

It is a shame. My father has a 550 in 7x64 and it lobs bullets a long way very accurately. And feeds like butter.Sorry to hear that. The CZ550 my nephew bought is a Controlled Round Feed Mauser Action. All the bolt action rifles I own have a Mauser action. roud:
There were a number of companies that "borrowed" the Mauser action and manufactured them in their own plants. Some of them PAID royalties, others did not. :hmmmm:

Yeah, you weirdo Austrians do tend to have the misconception....the mauser-system is very nice, but the schönauer is NICER!
