I looked high and low for Mauser Syn`s for quite some time..McM`s are way over the top in price Hogue make for`98`s too.. Wild Dog dont do a Mauser either and there are a few other cheaper mobs...my B+C on order is for a `98 and its the full ally bedding block model too for the 358 NM being built for me. It was either the Hogue or B+C for me for value for money and I swung to the B+C due to prior experience with the other`s I mentioned.
