The short stroke issue is more common with semi-autos from my experience. I'd like to say great job on the video to my fellow Mauser owner, it is indeed a damn good rifle and i have and will continue to trust my life to it in the field. Definitely my favorite Non-American made rifle.
But,,,,,, all three failure scenarios mentioned in regards to the regular action were human related failures. When you pulled back the bolt on the regular action, you did so gingerly, causing the extraction failure. When you worked the Mauser action you slammed it back. Work both actions the same when making comparisons. Mauser actions are great, but any action or (anything) for that matter can fail when an ignorant or untrained human is at the helm. Just sayn
Makes me consider the practicality of hunting with a bayonet mounted.
Holding the rifle towards the beast it would impale itself as it attempts to maul you, even it that doesn't finish it off that could keep it at arms length, also the muzzle into its body.
I am only a new hunter so I'm not too experienced, but I have 'short stroked' on my bolt action rifle before. Luckily it was a follow up shot on a piglet that was running away after I shot it's mother, rather than a dangerous animal charging me.
well done! this is a very good "comparison" of push fed vs controlled fed bolt actions.
I noticed in the mauser actions once the claw extractor catches the rim of the case it does not let it go until you want to. thanks for the video, it was very informative.
Great vid mate, I have a Kimber 84 M pro varmint rifle that is a Mauser action and as you said it always ejects perfectly however I sometimes have a jam when loading. The feeder holds 6 rounds stagered and it sometimes jams when trying to strip a round from the LEFT hand side of the feeder, have you heard of this problem before and do you know a way to fix it?

@NYhunter4 Yes that Model 70 action is a Post '64 design built in the late 80's.

Again, very insightful. :)
