"since these rifles were some of the last of the golden age of rifle craftsmanship, designed by highly intelligent men, hand-fitted, with superbly articulating parts that are in a different realm than sloppy Mauser actions."
I agree with most of what you said and will pay homage to how well you said it for similar thoughts occured to me the first time I handled a Swiss K31. I marveled as I worked that straight pull action and watched it work and new I had to have one. It took me three months to add one to my collection.
I agree with "sloppy Mauser actins to a point. I consider my Gustav made Swedish Mauser to be the finest Mauser style rifle made. I hope you find a nice Steyr soon.
