I wonder why there appears to be not much interest in the Ruger MK11 action on this forum verses Mauser M98 .I can appreciate the nostalga with the M98 & i have 3 of them, & 5 Ruger 77 MK11 from a technical comparison i think the Ruger is better. Known metallurgy & heat treatment, integrated scope mounting system , bigger locking lugs with no split lug for the ejector, true controlled round feed, better trigger & safety all steel bottom metal , no bolt handle mods required ,faster lock time. The M98 has a better one piece magazine box & bottom metal, the Mauser Military action takes a lot of work to build a sporter rifle. & the cheaper sporters like the Parker Hale, Inter arms, Zastava require a bit of work to clean them up . What do you think?
