The average K-98 in good condition will stand up well against any modern bolt action rifle. Hell pretty well every bold action rifle in the world is a deravitive of the K-98 in some way!
Saying that the K-98 isn't accurate is like a guy who drives a Neon saying that the McLaren F1 is slow!
Plus the US is full of cheap ammo for the K-98! Go to any gun show and pick ammo for $0.25 a round! There is still a huge assload of surplus stuff still avaliable, plus newer european ammo can still be had for under $0.50 a round.
Unless you were drunk at the time please don't post any more in this section of the forums since comments like that will only convince people that you're some Counterstrike goon who thinks he has a clue!
A testament to the ability of the K-98 was that the Israelis used them up until the early 90's as one of their primary sniper rifles. In 8mm and 7.62mm.
