Guys I am looking at a new custom 375 H&H Mauser 98 from a custom builder and have some questions and concerns. Please note this will be my first true Mauser 98 rifle. I have other rifles that are versions.
1. The bolt seams to bind going out and in if not pulled or pushed perfectly straight back and forth. Is this typical or am I being to picky? I picked up a Ruger tang safety and the bolt will fall out when the rifle is pointed up and is much smoother.
2. When a factory 300 grain round is chambered you can see rifling marks on the copper jacket of the bullet. Again am I being to picky or is this ok?
Am I missing something? Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
