Model 799.™The Model 98 Mauser Action Is Alive And, Well, Better Than Ever.
















American soldiers brought it back from both world wars, and America’s oldest gunmaker is proud to bring one of the most trusted bolt actions of all time – the Model 98 Mauser – back into mainstream production. That’s right, you no longer have to rely on military surplus supplies or high-cost custom gunmakers to get your hands on this classic. Long revered for its superior strength, smooth, reliable cartridge feed and inherent accuracy, it’s now available from Remington in a wide range of modern calibers, both short and long action. And we reworked these rifles from butt to bore to meet the aesthetic and performance demands of today’s hunter and shooter.

The short-action Model 799™ features a richly blued barrel and receiver, and American-made brown laminated stock. Barrels are clean, and receivers are drilled and tapped for standard Mauser 98 (long- and short-action) scope mounts.
Expect silky, ultra-positive feeding and ejection, rock-solid durability and exceptionally fast lock time. Influencing the design of virtually every bolt action made today, the Model 98 Mauser never died. It just needed a revival. We’re sure you’ll agree our version was worth the wait.

That the one I was talking about Rebthat is the old charles daly you use to be able to buy one from then for about $400.00 for a wood stock and a syn, stock for $350.00. all remmy did was raise the price and put a cheaper stock on them. you wont buy it from remmy for $400.00 I bet that why I said look for one of the charles daly still on the shelf there should still be a few around good look

Reb it is sad the remmy raise the price on this gun because you know charles daly was making money selling it for $400.00 leave it to remmy to rip us off

I know what you mean brother! In 1975 I bought a Rem 700 BDLw/ RKW finish on the stock ( same finish they put on bowling pins) in .30-06at K-Mart for $166.

We're just getting to old brother!

I don't think Savage makes a 223 with a detachable box magazine.

Here are you choices:

Tikka T3
Browning A-Bolt
Ruger M77MKII - not a detachable box magazine, but at least you can dump the shells out of the bottle instead of cycling them all thru.
Savage - JUNK sorry hardcore - couldn't resist [8D]

These are out of your price range that you stated, and there is a kit out there to convert Rem 700s to a detachable mag, but it is spendy, like $230 spendy.

May want to check into a Howa and Weatherby Vanguards. They might be a lil closer to your price range.

As far as the new "Mauser" by Remington - I read a review on them in this months Shooting Times and it wasn't exactly a MOA gun.
