[QUOTE="Citified, post: 2885151, member: 99567"] 98 Mausers are good actions but as others have stated you have to love them to invest in all the upgrades. When I was 14, I acquired a sporterized Mauser action in .243. Made the stock myself from a walnut blank finished in linseed oil. Took all summer. Shot that rifle with a Timney trigger upgrade and a faster lock firing pin kit until I wore out the barrel. I could ring steel at 450 yards most of the time. Took a few deer with it. When the barrel finally started to wear out, I bought a Midway stainless semi prefit, lapped the lugs and trued the bolt face. Bought the reamer and finish reamed the chamber for the go guage. This rifle is still in my stable 59 years later. Likes 70-80 grain bullets for varmints and 95s for deer. Will pass it to my son or grandsons some day. You would be very happy with one in 220 Swift. Not sure if Timney still makes the adjustable trigger assembly. [/QUOTE]
