PTL - Just purchased a Mauser 98 G33/40 action! I've been waiting many years for this find, so now comes the build job.
First will be to blue print the action and send it off for heat treating.
Second, is to pick the barrel and this is where I need some suggestions. Thinking about a Shilen Chrome moly as it can be made a 1/2 pound lighter than a SS. With those having experience, can a #2 contour in a 24 inch barrel be as accurate as a #3 since Shots will be limited to 3 or less?
Third: The stock will be a McMillan Sako hunter because it has a larger drop in heel than their light weight stock. This can be considered a light weight stock though.
Fourth: Banded Front and rear iron sights from NEC.
Fifth: Talley one piece Aluminum rings and bases. Rifle scope will most likely be a Zeiss conquest fixed 4 power if the ocular bell clears the bolt handle or the leupold 6x42.
