I love Mauser sporters, always have and always will. I have thrown away a bunch of money over the years on Mauser projects. I understand the appeal of having a rifle you built yourself, but the only way to make it reasonably cost effective is if you can do the work yourself....once you start farming the work out the cost goes thru the roof, plus then it is no longer a rifle you built yourself.
I agree with the other posters, buying a rifle someone else built is the way to go. Trust me, I know as I have been on both ends of those transactions.
Another option is to buy a commercial Mauser. Below is a picture of my latest Mauser 308. I bought it from a dealer on-line for $399.99 shipped to my FFL. FFL charged me $20. So I get a new commercial mauser action with an FN style bolt shroud, d/t for scope, hinged trigger guard, double set triggers (single trigger was available for the same price), walnut??? sporter stock, swivel studs, etc for way less than I could have built the rifle for.
These rifles also give you a chance to work on them yourself. Most obvious is the stock as it seems they smeared a bit of stain on them and put them on the rifle. Most can use a few coasts of your favorite stock finish, this one I stained (not stained in pic) and put a couple of coasts of tru-oil on. Some have complained the actions are rough, and they are not as smooth as a military Mauser that has been cycled a few thousand times. I think they are fine as is but you can always spend some time polishing the thing up.
