What are some rifles that have Mauser actions? The one that comes to mind is a Winchester 70 and Remington 700. Any others?
Not sureRemington 700?

That is kinda what the article was saying too. I fully understand the difference in the 2 feed types now but are all controlled feeds considered a mauser? I have not researched that far yet. Gotta go exercise the old bones first.And:

Controlled. Feed.
I don’t think there is a controlled feed bolt action that isn’t a derivative of the Mauser.That is kinda what the article was saying too.

Glad it wasn't just me that never knew the difference.They say you should learn something new everyday , well I have done my deed for the day. Never gave any thought to this type of action stuff concerning bolt actions.
Thanks guys for enlightening me.
