"Tiger" M98 rifle - need suggestions
      22/09/07 02:01 AM

When I was at the SHOT Show in Melbourne this year, I purchase a couple of stock blanks from Roger Vardy.

One was to be used to re-stock my .30-06 and this is being done by Ross Waghorn of Melbourne.

The other, an exhibition grade stock, I fell in "love" with. With its rich colours. For some reason it made be think of the lovely coat of a tiger. So doing a deal with Roger I arranged for it to be put aside for me and I now have it in my possession.

The project I have in mind is to build a Mauser 98 actioned rifle in a calibre popular in India during the grand hunting days of the sub-continent.

Have a look at this stock blank:



What calibres do you think would be suitable for it?

They should be chamberings that were popular in India in the first half of the previous century (ie 1900 to 1950). Possibly big bore chamberings but more likely to be medium calibres from .300 to .400.

Tell me what you think!
