A Turkish Mauser is worth very little. It's not like I have a genuine Nazi-era German K98. I'm looking for a stock that aids in long-distance shooting, not a "black rifle"-type look. And I already own an AR-15.
have fun with your rifle. Millions of "Mausers" have had their value decreased. I have a few nice ones myself

Have you swapped triggers yet? (think Timney) After the trigger swap, you'll want a Tubb spring and firing pin. (reduces lock time) Are you scoping the rifle?

I went with the stronger Wolff spring instead. The rifle's barrel has been shortened a bit and recrowned (the Turkish troops were taught to use a cleaning rod from the muzzle, and the first couple inches of many of these barrels have damaged or non-existent rifling), the bolt has been turned down, the receiver has been drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and I have scoped it. The trigger has been worked on, and it's been more than adequate for slaying deer for the last several years. I cut down and reshaped the old Turk stock. It's a great hunting rifle, I'd just like to go through it again and make it a longer-distance shooter. When properly hand-loaded, the 8x57mm cartridge is capable of doing some surprising things.

Bolt and tactical do not go together, if you want tactical then buy an AK or AR. Destroying a historical gun will not get you more bang for your buck, it will decrease the price of your gun.

Have a good day.

I guess somebody forgot to tell this Barrett, Cheytac, and most of the other current military bolt-action tactical sniper rifle manufacturers. And a Turkish Mauser is about as historically collectible as a Chevy Chevette. But thanks for your input.
