[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 496610, member: 24624"] The Mauser 98 excells in many areas although I think your 1/2 MOA expectation is attainable, but optimistic. If that kind of accuracy is high on your list, you should possibly look at other actions to build on such as a Savage. As for the scope, there's no doubt that optics are crucial as you increase precision and distance. However, it's much easier to replace/upgrade a scope than it is to replace the barrel. And, it's much easier to replace the barrel and/or stock than the action. So, start with a solid foundation and work up. - good financing - good action - blueprinted (receiver and bolt) - good barrel w/ proper twist - chambered and true with the action - good stock - bedded and barrel floated - good 20 MOA picatinny rail mounted without stress - good scope and rings lapped in - good bi-pod or shooting rest - ground up barrel breakin, proper cleaning regimine, and load development IMO - It's easier to decrease accuracy by cutting one or two corners than it is to increase accuracy. -- richard [/QUOTE]
