I'd like to start a project rifle. I've heard a lot on this board and others that a mauser can be had fairly inexpensive and is a good start.
I know nothing about these rifles so I need all the basic. Where to look, what to look for, what I sould expect to pay, etc.
I'd like to end up with it chambered for a common cal. like 30' 06, 308, or others that the list might encourage me to.
I'd like something that I can shoot accurately at the range and maybe take deer hunting.
Is this a worth whiled project?
I know I may have opened a big can of worms here.Thank you everyone for your advice.
