This past weekend I was finally able to shoot groups at 100 yards with what is a completed 98 Mauser in 260 Rem that I've been working on for a few years. I wish I had photos of the build process to share, but sadly only have some of the completed rifle.
The rifle started as a 98 Czech Mauser purchased for 50-60 bucks about 15 years ago. Stock was semi-inletted and opened to accept a 1-9" Shillen #3 contour barrel. Barrel is 27" long. I had the original bolt handle torched and re-welded to what is currently seen in the pictures. Trigger is a Timeney Featherweight set at 1.5-2#. Ammo shot was a 123 gr SMK in front of 38.5gr of IMR 4064. The grouping was 5 shots at .42moa at 100 yards. I'll post more when I get an opportunity to shoot something farther.
Note: The last picture was taken 6 months ago when we had snow...
