And it WILL be more expensive than comparable quality ammo in other calibers.

And I didn't say it was inaccutate, I said it would be lacking. You can do much better, particularly in light of the fact that many (perhaps most) K-98s out there are in poor condition. Pitted bores are very common in surplus 98s, and their accuracy is not up to par with many other bolt-action rifles out there in the surplus world.

http://www.mitchellsales.com/ Perfect condition bores avaliable here.
http://www.marstar.ca/ Perfect Bores here as well!
Both of these sites have thousands of German, swedish, and Yugoslavian mausers for sale! Every single one just as accurate as any bolt action rifle you will pick up off the shelf of you're local sporting goods store. Plus there are mausers for sale at pretty well every gun shop, gun show, and online gunboard. Thousands of shops, hundreds of stores, and dozens of sites. I'd love to see this statistic about the pitted K-98's since I've personally inspected over 40 and have yet to see one that's pitted or has any manner of bore/muzzle damage! People that own Milsurps treat them like pampered children.
For the love of god, stop acting like an expert in a subject you know nothing about!
