Hey Big Bill,
I was wondering what you did about scope and scope mounting? I know if you go with the scoutscope setup you don't have the problem w/ drilling and tapping and clearences for the bolt and safety. Glad to hear the swedish M96 stock works for you. Does the barrel profile match up ok? By the way, if you haven't purchased the scope mount yet, check out the MoJo peep sights.

What's the rear sight look like on that beauty? Does it look like the ones on your swedes? They make them for the k98 actions too. Oh, I found another site on working with mauser sight installations:
