Swedish M86's. The Swiss made the K31, also an excellent and very accurate milsurp which you can get for a lot less than their craftmanship warrants

k98 all the way.
if your budget is $500 i'd say M96 or M38 swede.
There were some Chilean Mausers, made by Steyr, imported a few years ago. They had been converted by Chile to 7.62x 52 Nato. The ones I have seen have had real clean bores. They were 98 type. Really well made rifle, cheap ammo.
I saw a m96 mauser for $430 I passed because I felt like I needed more research, but it looked great all the numbers matched was 1914 I think. Should I go back and purchase it? It looked great. And if that's not enough info can you guys tell me how much they run for with the qualities such as . Fair - $*** Excellent - $***. Thanks
I might pay that much for an all-matching (including all the bolt parts, rear sight parts, and cleaning rod) M96 in excellent condition and it had a gorgeous walnut stock. Otherwise I wouldn't pay more than $375 or so, and going down from there depending on which parts did not match or were not in excellent condition. Now if it has a complete diopter rear sight (on top of the receiver bridge, see my pic above), I'd pay that much for a M96 with matching bolt and a nice stock.
For $500? A VZ-24 and spend the rest on ammo for it.
