M48 yugo mauser length upgrade#

8MM is scarce and a bit costly, and while I don't mind buying a case of 200 rounds for 299, should I just start of with a box of 20 to reload after using it up? Would the accuracy be affected? I know the engineering & craftsmanship for the k98 was good, but would it still be on the M48 when it was modified, and after pushing the bullets down into the internal magazine, can the stripper clip still be ejected pushing the bolt forward?

M48 yugo mauser length upgrade#

Besides price difference (499 for the M48) what are advantages of the modifications on the Yugo M48 have to offer besides its original k98 form? I know countries make modifications to their small arms that they capture or get possession of to improve & upgrade to their own military standards (such as the Finnish with captured Mosins from earlier conflicts before the winter war) so what changes did they make that benefited their soldiers using it, and would be a good selling point for me? I will be using this for target shooting & hunting (the adjustable sights that allow you to sight from 100 to 200 to 300 yards is a very good feature), however to choose between the original K98 with its metal circle in the buttstock (I believe this is a tool to just or fix the bolt?) or its Yugo captured & modified version? Any info is appreciated, I'm happy for the supportive advice from the community here. I like the I have in interest in the Mauser type platform, because of its adjustable sights, safety mechanism, stripper clip that can be ejected via pushing the bolt forward, and the accuracy of it as well.

I am looking to buy my first bolt action surplus rifle, as I like the how a military bolt action surplus rifle can be good for recreational use.
