[QUOTE="D.ID, post: 738171, member: 14340"] With all due respect to the mauser 98 action (a legend).............by the time you square it up, add a decent trigger or trigger job and get a barrel installed by a gunsmith It will cost more than a savage and a pre fit. Another advantage of the savage is it truly is the closest thing to a do it yourself rifle platform. Very versatile and easy to work with. If you want to maximize the 7mm wsm cartridge by throating it for 180grn bullets and feeding it threw a long action, you will have to build it. If you choose to change calibers or rebarrel down the road you can simply change barrels, or even bolt faces with minimal tools or experience. An accutrigger equipped savage la mag doner rifle new is about $400 and has a extra stock and barrel to resell or a steevens at $300and a rifle basix trigger at $100. I got hooked on savage admittedly , If you want to avoid spending time and money with a gun smith and still have a custom configuration such as a long action 7wsm, It will be your best bet.
