Seriously?

Asking this here is like going into a Weight-Watchers meeting with two bags, and asking you should eat the whopper or big mac. (grin)

(although that Ross is pretty neat, just for the history and looks. and it's a .303)

I had a stupid thought (what's new :roll: )
Get a cardboard sign that sez Collecting For Ross, and maybe there are a few Perot supporters left who would kick in. :idea:

My pick would be the Mauser with set trigger, and target Iron sights.

Both - Why plastic was invented.......... :roll:

Then, with both Mausers in hand, you could divest yourself of the one you like least. . :mrgreen:

I'd go with the Ross if limited to one. They are very interesting rifles and the three I've shot were all quite accurate. The sporters are also the best handling "bolt" guns out there in my opinion, almost as nice as Model 71. I've never had a shot at owning one when I had the cash.
You already have a MS350 and .22s are still nearly non-existent.

The Ross, would. If I knew more about the bolt flying backward, it may.

The one's with the alleged bolt issues were the 1910's. A lot of these guns have wallowed out chambers and headspace issues. Out of the 4 I've bought in the last 10 years three of them have had both. They are very cool rifles tho.
