Hey guys
My main rifle is my Remington 700 CDL, .30-06 with nice Sightron scope. Although it is nice, I want an iron sighted bolt action rifle that I can use as a shooter and project rifle.
I love push feed, but I love the feel of a Mauser action. How hard is it to find a k98, or similar Mauser action, re barreled to a more common caliber like .308? I find a lot of beauty in military surplus rifles, but it's hard to find ammo for them. I am also interested in a re-barrel for accuracy reasons.
Are re-barrels generally left in stock configuration or sporterized? My main plans are to get a sporter walnut stock which I will checker and engrave.
Sorry this is kind of vague, but I'm not really sure where to start. I just want to get some ideas and knowledge.
