Hey, I have a question. I am not much on identifying actions and such. If I post a picture of my 220 Swift, could you help with identification? It is a Yeager built rifle with a Robert Hart barrel and some sort of Mauser action. TIA.

I’d be more than willing to give it a try. Is there a scope on it? A lot of times the identifiers are under the front scope base.

There is a scope on it, I will post a couple pictures and if you want to see something better, please ask. Not sure I want to bother taking the scope off though, lol. Thanks a ton!

Have a 280 AI built on that same action...

I don't own any 03s, but I'm willing. 3 custom 98 Mausers.

Ok, Internet is really lumpy right now. Headed out to mow for a while, will post pictures later if I can.

Here are a couple pictures.

Looks like an Interarms Mark X to me except for that safety.

[JeffreyDeGraff]

It’s definitely a commercial 98 action. The tell tale signs are no thumb Cut on left side of action for use of stripper clips, no guide on top for stripper clip, and it is drilled and tapped on the right side for a receiver sight.

Secondary signs are the commercial style bolt shroud and thumb safety. These are secondary because they can easily be put on a military action.

I don’t know who made it, but do know it is commercial, not military.

Some years back, she did this a few times for me. Not sure the old man could do it anymore, lol.

Sweet! How many shots does the barrel have through it?
