Reply more small ring questions

here i am again, with more questions. still going round and round with what small ring to work with building a 6.5x55. my question this time around centers around whether a Carl Gustafs Manufactured swede or a Oberndorf Manufactured M38 be a better choice. for reference i am looking at these actions on Samco's site. i always hear about the wonderfulness of the Gustafs, but the Oberndorfs are $20 more for the same barreled action. lets assume they are both in the same condition, what would make the oberndorfs more valuable? Availability? Metalurgy? Accuracy?

IHMO, the premium is because there were fewer Oberndorfs produced.

 

I'd probably just get a Sweede and be done with it.

Z is exactly right! I've got both,and I'd take a Gustav over a Oberndorf any day and save 20 bucks to boot.Jerry
