eldeguello..i thought about building off a mauser action many times....i always come out paying like 1000 for just the gun..i know it will be a great gun but i dont have that kind of money..i actually am getting the job to save for a truck....so spending tons is out of the question...maybe i should wait until i buy the truck so then i can spend what i want and build my real dream rifle...i think thats what i will do...no sense in spending a grand and not having what i want....thanx guys..when i build it i will look at them calibers....
