[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1506553, member: 6146"] I believe the Mauser is still respected as an accurate and dependable rifle platform; the M14 has killed a fraction of the enemy combatants as the K98. The "unarmed civilians or the French" comment is disingenuous; ask the British Expeditionary Forces, or count the graves in Russia. If not for poor decisions and poor weather, Moscow would be in the heart of "Lebensraum". I guess we could say the same for the M16/M4; racking up kills on goat herders and villagers can be done by any old rogue government. But that comment would be just as wrong. "Feeling right" is personal preference. That's about the biggest advantage to me for the M14/M1A; it feels like every other rifle or shotgun I've shouldered from childhood. It's a great rifle, but comparing it to the K98 is apples and oranges. Pretty big leap in technology over time. [/QUOTE]
