Mauser 98 rifle action

Good day fellows

Can someone tell me were I can buy a good Mauser 98 rifle action? Want to build me a deadly varmint and all-around long range composition. Fajen varmint stock, Adams & Bennet barrel and Bold premium trigger should do the job but I need to find the action. The cal. will be 6,5x 284.

FAC IN MINNEAPOLIS HAD THEM ALSO. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THOUGH THESE ARE REMOVED FROM MILITARY SURPLUS RIFLES AND EXCEPT FOR A FEW BUMPS AND BRUISES THEY ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. I JUST BUILT AN FCLASS RIFLE WITH ONE OF THOSE ACTIONS.

HAVE YOU EVER CONTEMPLATED USING THE 6,5X68 INSTEAD OF YOUR CHOICE? JUST WONDERING. I THINK IT WOULD BE A BIT PEPPIER THAN THE 6,5X284.

JUST A THOUGHT.

HAVE A GOOD ONE.

Thanks for the info guys.

Regarding the caliber I will think about it. But there are few guys that I know using 6,5x284 so it would be handy.

Tatfur,
The CZ`s are at about every gun show around here and you can pick up a rifle in good condition for $ 75 to $ 100 US. I`ve got a real nice one in the vault now that I bought for $ 75 just so I would have an action around if I wanted to build another rifle. They are no problem to get here, but I`ve got no idea where you would get one in Iceland.
