possible bolt gun build

[landlord]

I am thinking about building a bolt gun but not sure what parts to start with, Mauser or nagant? Thinking maybe a scout rifle, have heard a lot about them but not to sure just what they are? Any help or thoughts are welcome. Thank you

Go buy a Savage or Ruger scout rifle and save yourself some money in th e long run.

If you are going to assemble a rifle just to assemble a rifle, the Savage action is the easiest to build on.

If you have metalworking skills a Mauser action will serve you just fine.

I don't recommend a Mosin action for a build. I've seen some 45-70 Mosins, and pictures of a 300 WSM Mosin, but they were single shot conversions.
