In my study of the 98, I have wondered about the metallurgy of the 1930s made VZ24 vs the German k98 of the same time frame. Why is the VZ24 action held in higher regard than the k98 ? Is it the finish, the material, or the heat treating ? Or is it a reputation such as the 09 where so many consider it the best when many are actually fairly soft ?
