Just a little idea...
I have a 1891 argentine mauser, it's an ok gun but I really don't want to do anything permanent to it. That means no drilling for scopes or anything. However I see that someone makes a bull pup chassis for a Remington 700. While both firearms do not fit each other, I just thought, what if I make a bull pup stock for an argentine mauser, use a connecting rod to release the sears. That means no permanent modification to the gun, furthermore I can clamp a scope mount on the barrel, use normal (not EER) scopes, AND not have to turn the bolt down at all.
An added benefit is to shorten its overall length significantly while not changing its barrel length at all.
Expensive and ambitious? sure... but if it allows one to sporterize an old mauser without destroying its value...
What do you guys think?
