I wouldn't mind a ZG47, but at this stage i'm sorted for the hunting i do, 8x57 with 200gr loads for medium sized game (hopefully deer, if i ever go) and a .308 with 123gr for the smaller stuff. So i guess unless a zg47 shows up really cheap, i can just dream about one too.

My dad has an 8x68S, it's a great cartridge, but you have to do a few mods to an m98 to get acceptable results. The 8x68S was designed to fit the M98, with a few design choices that lend itself very well, and according to the gunsmith that did the work all those years ago (well regarded sydney gunsmith bill marden snr.) it's about as big as you can go without seriously weakening the critical parts, like the lower lug abutment, and the boltface doesn't need to be opened up too much. Magazine feed lips also should be adjusted.
