Thanks for all the help and information. Heres two problem im now facing: I keep on seeing that mitchell's mauser for sale for $249.00 my grand dad brought back a k98 and sporterized it, didnt really look good. I shot it once, very powerful rifle. For that price and the fact its a mauser keeps on catching my eye. The second problem im facing is to buy a bolt action or buy the ar-15 rifle kit first? Since the mauser is a collectors rifle and isnt going to last seems to me to buy the mauser. But then again I dont have any 8mm rounds and i have 800 223/5.56 rounds.

Well get the one you like and can shoot better. Does it have to be a bolt action or will a single shot work? Is it going to be primarily a hunting rifle? I looked at a single shot 223 with a bull barrel and a very nice thumb hole stock at academy it's pretty cheep and for the $300 (I think) price tag you can put a nice Nikon or Leopold 3X9 on it and you have a rifle that will do deer and pigs out to 300 yds. And it's in a caliber that you already have stock piled. All Tho I wouldn't buy a hunting rifle based on what I had ammo for at the time. You can get those single shot rifles in 243 or 30-06 or 308 to. I know there are others out there but the 223 is probably the lightest hunting round I'd go with for just Texas, followed by the 25-06 then 243, 308 and 30-06. 270's are good but I've never been a fan, nothing wrong with them I just like the 30's and the quarter bores better. Just my two pennies.

Highly recommend a Savage 10.
Would avoid Ruger like the plague personally.

What's wrong with Ruger?
Savage 10 is a good solid platform, good guns.

As you mentioned a Mitchell Mauser I would like to suggest you apply for your C&R license and buy a Czec or German Mauser from AIM Surplus or another distributor. For 500 bucks you could have your license + ammo and three or four rifles. Also a Swiss K31 is a 7.5mm tack driver that will give most sniper rifles a run for their money.

Before people start to jump on me about my comment, I've shot 20 - 30 of the things and hundreds of rifles in the past year. I'm not saying that they can't build an accurate rifle, but they as a percentage wise are less accurate than your run of the mill Remington 700 or Savage 10.
