They have a 50s era German 98 sporterized mauser with a K4 Scope at Alaska Guns and Ammo on 6th Avenue in Fairbanks for 550 dollars. It has a decent trigger and is a little heavy at 10 lbs scoped.
Basically it would be all you would need.

Ken,
Collector's Gun Exchange is no longer in the Mesa location. Apparently, they have moved to the East side.
There's also Sportsman's Elite, on Doniphan, but I find their prices to be very high.

Basically it would be all you would need. Thanks. Sounds good, but that is indeed heavy! Is it a .35 Whelen? I still need to wait until I graduate and I'm gainfully employed, though.

I tried clicking on the photo link and it acts like it is loading, but does not. I'll try again later. Edit: Photo is visible.

The photos just showed up - Looks like a nice rig. The new stock looks good - is it a Hogue?

Do a search for "belgian" in the last month and you will find it.

Do believe that's a Mark Banser stock... i.e. Hi Tech I thinks it's called. http://www.legendaryarmsworks.com/high-tech-specialties-inc-stocks/

I was about to edit my post and say the new stock looked too refined and nice to be a Hogue. I've read about the Basner stocks and by all accounts they are highly regarded.

It's my first one and I like it!
With the old stock the recoil was pure hell on my shoulder,even with starting loads.

With the old stock the recoil was pure hell on my shoulder,even with starting loads. It's interesting how much difference a properly fitted stock can make in terms of recoil. Did you have a gunsmith fit the new stock to your proportions, or did you know exactly how to spec the new stock when you ordered it from Hi-Tech? Also, how would you compare the Basner stock to a McMillan? - I know they are similar in cost.

The gunsmith ordered it from Hi-Tech himself. Took about a month to 6 weeks to get the stock and bed,paint and add the recoil pad to it. AFAIK,never owned a McMillian,so can't say anything about how they compare.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
