WoodyPlThe way that I've gotten my sporterized mausers, is to build them myself. You can find alot of info on the internet about this. You can usually buy a rifle cheaper than you can build one up, but look at what you'll be missing.
Learn machining
learn welding and soldering
learn woodworking
learn wood and metal finishing
get to hang out at gun shows
get the satisfaction of harvesting game with your own creation
I sporterized my first 03 Springfield when I was 13, and now at 51 I'm working on a 338/06 on a Czech Brno 98/22 action. It's a lifelong hobby (read addiction)
Best Regards,
Woody

ceweNice collection for young man, congrats on that. Caliber wise I´d go with a 9.3x62. Try to find an old military Mauser and work from that. Older Huskies are quite inexpensive and the actions are very good.

sierra2Amen to what cewe has to say. Take a VZ-24 action and have it rebarreled to 9.3x62mm, or find an old Husqvarna in that caliber. If you feel a little more flush, buy a CZ-550 in 9.3x62, and you will have all the big gun you will ever need.
