Dear All,
I would like to build a nice, working 9.3x62 hunting rifle on an m98 action. I would like to get a nice FN action that is rust free and drilled and tapped but they are not easy to find. What do you think about other actions like Zastava, interterms, Santa Barbara etc? I do not want to dump a lot of money building a rifle on an inferior action that will then need to be replaced. Also, I very much would like to have a 3 position side safety (like Win m70). I see a lot of mauser actions , like husqvarna 1640 with two position safeties beside the bolt. Can these husqvarna actions "upgraded" to the 3 position side safety.
All other advice when it comes to m98 actions are welcome and if you have one which you think would be a nice basis for a build please let me know.
Thank you, Ferenc
