[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 438315, member: 24284"] You'll spend more 'sporterizing' a Mauser '98 than you would if you were to shop for a used Rem. 700. The real trick will be finding a military, standard length '98 that's not a rusty piece of junk , those that are 'clean' are on the verg of being collectable. Those 24/47s you spoke of will make a fine sporter when chambered for a cartidge suitable for the magazine, although I wouldn't build one up for a super speed, high pressure wildcat (limitations of the steel from which it's made). Most parts, like triggers and safetys, made for the std. length '98 work just fine on the 24/47. Leupold makes 2 piece mounts that don't require the stripper guide to be removed. CZ-USA sells just actions that are, more or less, "a modern made Mauser"(model 550). Catch is, they are metric threaded. Some 'smiths have metric capabilities, some don't. And, there's not a huge selection of 'drop-in' stocks. I just finished a re-barrel on a CZ 527 (basicly, a mini-Mauser), different than a 700 or 70, but, quit doable. [/QUOTE]
