There is a local gunstore here that has a bunch of custom Mauser 98's that I have been eyeballing. They all have new barrels and really nice wood stocks but still hjave the horrible triggers, but he is asking only $300-$375 for them, at that price a guy could put a Timmney trigger on one and have a really nice gun. Most of the are wildcat or obsolete cartridges though. I have been eyeballing a 358 and a 6.5-06. He also has a 270-08, a 223 improved, and a 257roberts improved. + a few others that I cant remember off hand. I am thinking about buying the 358, it is a Fabrique National built Mauser with the date stamp of 1931 on it. He wants $350 and it has a beautiful nicely figured wood stock.
