I understand you wanting to update the old 98 . my firtst gun was a 98 in 8mm that was sorterized and had the bolt bent. she's still in my safe because i just cant let her go. But the reallity is there's just so many better ways to go for less money . you can go buy a tikka t3 , with box mag in stainless and synthetic in 270 wsm that will flat out shoot your old 98 for less than 500 bucks . keep the old gun and shoot her for fun , but if it where me i'd put my dough else where. :twocents:

This can be a great project.  Brownells.com is a great source for parts.  Boyds is also good I bought one of their unfinished stocks and it was only $65.  Good luck!!  When you are done tou will be able to say that you built it.  It's a pride thing some people would not understand.

There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

I've recently done 3 different mausers.  It is very expensive to get them done right.  These were left to me by my dad and they were all in various stages of being done.  Here is an example of one I just finished up.  This particular one was given to me by my dad when I was 12 years old and I didn't really care what it cost.  Just had to do it.



90.00......257 Roberts Barrel
80.00......install barrel
35.00......commercial bolt shroud
43.00......Bold trigger
125.00.....Blue and misc. work
75.00......Drill and tap
45.00......Leupold base and rings
10.00......new extractor
180.00.....like new B&C Medalist stock
125.00.....used Leupold 3-9x40 vari xll

$808.00 total

And I welded the bolt handle myself. And on alot of those parts and work I had sales tax also.
