jon lynn, I am not in OK, but WY. I will tell you that many Mauser actions have been "ruined" by gunsmiths that don't know what they are doing. First, I charge $15.00 per hole to drill and tap for scope mounts. But that is for 4 holes in alighnment with the barrel so the rifle can be sighted in when it is complete. That means turning an old barrel into the action and using a Forester jig to drill and tap correctly. $26.00 per hole is not excessive. Make sure the action is drilled using a one piece base for spacing so it can be used late as well as a two piece set.
I charge $250 plus the barrel to install a barrel correctly; face the receiver, lap the lugs, face the bolt, headspace the chamber to 0.001 clearance, mark the barrel and blue. to blue the remainder of the rifle and accessories is generally another $50.00. That is using hot blue, caustic salts.
You will also need to have the bolt handle altered to use a scope. I weld on a new handle and charge $60 for the welding. You will also need a low scope safety.
I don't have the names of any gunsmiths in your area. My prices are very reasonable.
