hey everyone.. ive been thinking of building a scout rifle (small, light weight, lighter caliber bolt action with open sights)...
anyway, my goal is a 16-18 inch barrel, maybe 20, open sights, adjustable real leaf (like the ones used on old mausers and nagants), id like to be stripper-clip fed, but less of a PITA with stripper clips than my mosin nagant is...
umm... my options are the remington 700 action, or a mauser 96/98 action... since its only a .308 and not some giant magnum caliber, i dont think i need the added diameter, length, or third locking lug present in a large-ring mauser, and believe the small ring to be the better choice
what do you guys think would match this criteria best?
