Re: Santa barbara mauser action. Hi KD, I have an 7x57 that is built on Santa Barbara action and no problems, the action is a bid hard and not as smooth as an Sako action, but it works well.

Re: 308 Santa Barbara info needed!! I have one in .308 that i inherited and its a fantastic rifle.Hand loads or shop ammo no problem. Originally the rifle had a point where the barrel touched the stock so it would throw the odd shot but i had it bedded and now its perfect. Stripped the varnish stuff off the stock and oiled it with Schaftoll ...
Armed with your info i found it indeed to be a Spanish Santa Barbara action. These ones were commercial mauser actions made in 1969/70's for Parker Hale. Musgrave then bought a whole lot from PH England. From what I can gather these are not bad actions, although I would have preferred something more Germanic.

Re: Info on 308 Musgrave_worth buying? This rifle was built on a Santa Barbara action. This is basically a Spanish built version of the FN "Mauser" action, which is a much improved sporter version of the military K98. The current Zastava M70 is basically the same thing.
Feb 13, 2021 · The two photos showing the bottom of the action definitely gives the impression that the action was cast. That, together with the lack of thumb cut-out on the left hand side does seem to suggest "some sort of Santa Barbara" action (purely because those properties are the same as the Santa Barbara actions used by Musgrave).
Feb 4, 2015 · The santa barbara is a K98 buildt in Portugal iirc It is a casting. Purists will prefer that an action is machined out of a single piece of steel though The RSA action and Remington 700 is castings as well and superbly accurate. It has a safety on the side which is more convenient than the normal Mauser flag type safety when a scope is fitted.
Voere with a Mauser Santa Barbara action. Action was not made by Voere but would appear to be contracted out possibly to a Hungarian manufacturing plant. Interesting the slide safety. Looks very much like a Voere Cougar as Andrew points out. Voere to this day do not make their own barrels. They use Walther or Ferlach barrels - model dependent.
Re: Musgrave model identification. Not much detail I can see on the pic, but from the little I can see it looks like it is built on a Santa Barbara action. This is basically a commercial FN "Mauser" action, but built by SB in Spain. AFAIK, only 1 version was built on this action, the only option being calibre. 07-01-2018, 21:07 #5.
Jun 4, 2010 · The Santa Barbara actions were cast copies of the forged steel K98 actions. All actions made by the Musgrave factory itself (80,83,90) were push feeds. The serial numbers of the rifles built on surplus K98 actions usually have 98 in the number somewhere and S98 denotes a standard style stock with no cheeck piece.
