RE: Mauser action Recommendations
 
Thanks to all for the suggestions and links.

I have one Turk 98 in decent and full Military config, and would just as soon leave that one alone as it has been reported to me that it isn't as worthy a recipient of a higher than specced pressure round.
And the one 8mm/06 I own is working just fine and I'd rather leave it as stands now also.

Have always wanted to play with an AI round just for comparison and have an opportunity to mount a freshly cut new barrel in 8mm/06 AI, but want to make sure the receiver I obtain will handle some 8mm/06 AI rounds that are a tad above the average for pressure. And I know that many of the well made 98's are up to it, ... just didn't know which ones.
Thanks for the direction.

VZ 24's are nice and still fairly plentiful. Stay away from Yugo's. They're not well built.
Also, look for commercial 98'sin pawn shops and gun shops. I'm still finding JC Higgins, Sears, etc, that have really fineFN commercial 98 receivers or Husqvarna small ring 98's.

Hello Ranger.....not all. Many Preduzece 44's were really mod 98's and so marked. These are German made top of the line actions well suitable for this project .....and the good news is they are still inexpensive! Regards, Rick.

48thguns,
Let me know a little more about the Preduzece 44's you mention. If you have any links I'd be interested.
Thanks

Briman,
On the Samco site you posted I see some Yugo M24/47 rifles. In your opinion are these decent for having the chambers' recut to the 8mm/06 AI? and if you don't mind, do you have a rank order for the ones you mentioned?
Thanks
