Congratulations, and best of luck.
This is the one I use. It is a cut-down I had rebarreled by Roy Bedeaux in Albuquerque. He had a pre-64 Model 70 barrel in 30-06 that cut down and rethreaded to 22 1/2" in 30-40. It is very accurate, long as you don't try to use 220 gr. RN. 180s are just fine. Not sure how that Gewehr 98 got in there but I can't get it out.

Don't forget to post "Surf & Turf" pictures. Those are fine looking rifles. Is the Gew 98 yours too??
Yeah, it was a 1918-dated DWM, part of a Turkish contract, might have been made after the surrender but before the Versailles Treaty took effect. It was a rush job, machine tool marks all over the metal and a very rough stock. I did molest it imainly finishing the stock. Once the barrel gets hot it will put every bullet inside 1" at 100 yards shooting fast as I can.
