The supply of ex-military surplus M98 actions has dried up by now, look at the prices paid nowadays by the military arms collectors/shooters for a decent K98. The cost today to make a decent M98 action alone is more than Euro 2000.-. It does not matter much if you make a Kurz, Standard or Magnum length action from scratch. Add a decent barrel, stock and sights, you simply end up in the 3k range. Voere M98 rifles, if still available, were made on reworked surplus actions. The other year Voere started advertizing a "truly modern wonder action" of their own design, nothing like a M98 anymore.
