What to look for in Shooters

Maybe as a new guy, I can spark a little debate When shopping for a shooter what is the most important thing to consider? Bore, toggle mechanism, general wear and tear? Also which is "better" an early WWI DMW or 30's Mauser? It would seem the DMW would have fit and finish going for it, but it is 25 yrs older and alot of them went through two world wars. Do the later Mausers have the same attention to detail and craftmanship?
