I have been tossing around the idea of having a psuedo scout rifle "built" for me. I have been thinking about getting a cheap non collectible 8mm Mauser of some sort and putting a 308 barrel on it. I have been told that the action will work fine with 308. I also plan on having the barrel cut to 20" or so and having an NP3 finish on it. Of course topping it off will be a scout scope mount so I can still use stripper clips.
I know it would be cheaper to just buy a 308 but that would be easy. Any advice on where to start? I was thinking of a VZ-24 to start with. Or would a Yugo M-48 work? I have heard that they aren't large ring. Thanks.
And like I said, I know it would be cheaper to just buy a 308 rifle I think it would be satisfying to do something like this.
