Sorry you are wrong. 1903 with war time barrel will shoot door-to-door with M96, consider better and easier adjustable sights and on average 1903 is a winner. You start tweaking either one - and a mauser does what a mauser does.
P.S. The best I've seen shot with M96 in MBABR match was 10-8x (by me LOL). The best with 1903a3 was done by Jeff A. with 100-10x - first and only time done so far.

True, but I'm also considering reloading if I get a Mauser, mostly because I don't intend to blow through a ton of ammo and will re-use brass. That 7.62x54r ammo is crazy cheap right now, though!
I've seen Mosins around $140-175 right now and M48 Mausers for about $250, so the price difference isn't THAT big.
The only unconverted Mauser I now own is a Swede 6.5x55, and it's a real straight shooter. I have sold all my MN rifles because I just don't like them except for their historical significance.
