Hey guys,
Which CRF action is more authentic to an actual Mauser action, a CZ 550 or Winchester Model 70?
I recently started studying into CZ firearms, because I have never owned any much less been around anyone with a CZ. I grew up shooting Winchester Model 70s that were CRF and a few cheaper push feed models.
I have been recently researching Mausers themselves, and from what I have found out is CZ was made to produce the Mauser rifles in the approx 1920s near the WW1 and WW2 era. This has me wondering how much variation is there between the actual mauser 98 action, model 70, and cz 550. If my findings are correct, cz has lineage to mauser productions so I would assume the 550 would resemble the original 98 more than the Winchester. Just been doing alot of reading on the history of mauser 98s and CZs. Thanks
