To say that the Springfield 1903 or the K98 are bad rifles is wrong.
Both the K98 and 1903 are great rifles. The Mauser action is used in almost every bolt action rifle today, it's a great action and that's why we copied it for the 1903.
I also don't see why you say that the 1903 is a bad copy of the mauser, it may not be an exact copy but it is an excellent rifle. The only real bad thing about the 1903 is with serial # below 800,000 due to the metal being weaker and more prone to failure.
