Mauser questions

[adamhall2942]

Ok guys, ive got a yugo m48 mauser, had it matched up with a er shaw stainless barrel blank, match chambered .308, got a fajen ultra varminter stock on it. this gun is coming along extremely nicely, alot of money has been spent and i love the rifle. right now its with roy king, who might i add is the best gunsmith around. awesome work and extremely good rates. Roy is finishing it up having bolt forged, drilled and tapped for leupold mounts.
My qurstion is, i had in mind to make it accept a detachable magazine, rather than have a fixed floor plate. does anyone know of a good one to go with or where the heck to find a kit for that matter? also im looking to tinker in some match shooting, any scopes yall would recommend? like to stay under 1500 for scope if possible.

I have several detachable mauser mags that I got from numrich gun parts.

Numerich has a 20 round detachable for large ring 98's
yugo's may have slight variations in the magwell, but they should fit . But they are for 8mm and the 308 would be too short.

I am pretty sure the hole spacing on the Yugo is different from a 98 Mauser. So. the stocks and the bottom metal won't work.

Youre exactly right patch pusher, given a m98 ive found a ton of detachablr mags but not for mine, i know theres gotta be something out there. my gunsmith says he can make me a system but for cost wise if i could find something manufactured it would be alot cheaper. its gonna be a bench shooting rifle though. would be fine as it is. just wanted the mag for the looks to be honest
