Differences between a Mauser type bolt action and a standard style bolt action

When hunting with a bolt action rifle, particularly dangerous game, the ability to make a quick follow-up shot is important and reliability is critical. When something does impede a follow-up shot, its very imporant to be able to mitigate the problem as fast as possible. Mr. Mauser's 1898 bolt-action design offers the best possible ability to make a follow-up when there is a problem. In this video, I demonstrate three problems that could occur that would likely prevent a shooter, armed with a standard style bolt action, from getting off a quick follow-up that the Mauser style action would have helped him with. My voice is jacked up in the video due to an operation from which I am still recovering..

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

I LOVE MAUSER LOL ITS THE ONLY GUN I HAVE AND I CAN DO 5 SHOTS IN 3.2 SCONDS BECAUSE I MADE MINE A SPORTER :) AND IT SHOOTS OUT TO 750 YARDS EASY, AND SO ON, LOL MY NEXT RIFLE IS MAUSER AND IM ALWAYS GUNNA SHOOT MAUSER, IF MY GRANDPA SAID THE GERMANS MADE A DAMN GOOD RIFLE, MAUSER KILLS ANY AMERICAN MADE RIFLE IN MY OPINION, I LOVE MAUSER AND SAME WITH MY NAZI KILLING GRANDFATHER, I OWN HIS MAUSER.

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.

I like the info.

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
