[QUOTE="Chokoloskee Joe, post: 2884713, member: 110441"] I agree it is a 1908 large ring Brazilian Mauser. Most of them are very high quality actions made by DWM. Yes, it will cost more to build a sporter with the action than to buy a cheap bolt action rifle, but then you won't end up with a true heirloom rifle you'd be proud to hand down to your kids. All depends on what you want. I would go with a 22-250 over the 220 Swift unless you want to reload exclusively. 220 Swift is hard to find in factory ammo and is more of a barrel burner. Numrich happens to have some nice ER Shaw 22-250 barrels for $160. If you don't mind doing some minor stock work, Richards Microfit makes some nice stocks for the 98 Mauser and you can get a nice seconds stock with A or AA walnut for about $200. I've built a few Mauser sporters and they are truly a joy to shoot. [/QUOTE]
