Looking at possibly acquiring a custom rifle built on a Mexican small ring Mauser, 6.5 CM.

I know next to nothing about these actions. From what research that I have done, it seems the general consensus is that the action are fine as long as it is a small;l/medium caliber.

Any thoughts?

Value? Of course it depends on wood, metal work, etc.
 
I believe there were two versions of the Mexican Mauser.
IIRC, the first few thousand (1902) were made by DWM and have a Mauser 98 bolt shroud and flag safety.
That was carried over to the 1910 Mexican Mauser.
The later contract run (1936) have a Springfield style bolt knob/safety.
I'm not sure if the '36 bolt can be changed.
The pre 1910 actions are beautifully made - on par with an Oberndorf sporting action IMO.

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
