Building a light weight stalking rifle - 03/15/16
I received my mauser 93 from exbiologist today, and want to start working on this project. As it sits right now, it is in a boyds walnut stock, been drilled and tapped and the bolt bent. There are a few issues that must be taken care of first, such as a new cocking piece and re-doing the bolt body, but those are the 2 major things I need to get done. My questions are has anyone done something like this? My goals are a light weight rifle with great handling. It is going to be a strict hunting rifle, so want something that will be light enough to carry for long distances, and accurate enough for longer shots. Needing ideas for sights, style to do the stock in (checkering, finishes, etc.)
So I ask help from fellow members for good advice and info to go with it
