Could not resist an offer of a GEW 98 action that comes with a set of bases and Sako 26mm ring mounts. The bolt handle has been bent down to clear a scope and I have a spare GEW98 8x57 barrel and Pecar 4x81 scope.
I have had great success with a M1904 and cast boolits so a new rifle with a scope......

Next project will be a new timber stock from camphor wood; should keep me busy during winter.
