The 798 was a traditional Large Ring Mauser (m98) built to a commercial specification.
Stocks can be had from Bell and Carlson (40oz), HighTech Specialties (20oz), MPI (16oz to 22oz depending on construction) and Richard Microfit (laminates). Boyds is possibly going to do a batch of stocks for this little action in June/July this year.
I have three rifles built on these actions,
A 6/223 (aka 6x45) that was built in 1996 and is still going strong. It is a particularly brilliant spotlighting rifle (we target foxes heavily in the early winter to stop them taking young lambs born in the late winter). Richards Microfit Old Classic in Irish Moss.

A 6mm PPC that was built two years back and is deadly on bunnies out to 350m. Works well on the foxes, but the 6x45 is easer to use. Boyds Pepper thumbhole.

A 6.5 Grendel. B&C Caberlite Green/Black Speckle.

There are a few things that need to be done to these actions to make them 'slick' but they work in nicely and are a great little way to build a bolt action Grendel.
They come with a fairly adjustable trigger, and ANY Mauser 98 trigger can be fitted.
