I just started building one of these. Mauser 98 action, Lothar-Walther barrel (very reasonable in stock contours/chamberings, which is what motivated me to go with the 9.3 instead of a 35 whelen), found a NIB Fajen semi-fancy walnut stock for sale on another forum. I'll probably get the barreled action back from the smith in a month or so, and then I'll need to blue it and put it together. Still don't know what I'm going to use for a scope.
