I've only had experience with the 98 GEW also, and it was sporterized when I got it. The bolt had been modified, and the back edge of the scope mount had been machined at an angle , for the bolt to clear. It was a good shooter, and as usual, I wish I had it back!

OEH, I think I told Swampman before, I had 10 "98 Mauser's" that I
bought at J.M.Fields for $9ea back in the 60's and sold them for
$25ea and even gave a couple away. Thought I was making a killing
at the time. Today just the action is worth around $500.
Now that's a dumb a$$.

The actions are worth a lot right now but compared to the Junk being made now it may be the only way to go especially with another custom rifle in the works.
