Looking to get a Mauser. I own a bubba'd Swedish m/1894 that I'm currently selling for $400, kinda high considering I bought it for $320 with 100 rounds of ammo.
I already have the ammo, and I hear the Swedish Mausers are overall the best Mausers, so if I can find one I'm going to try to get an m/1896. This has proved to be rather challenging.
So, I want to know, what's the best overall Mauser for those on a budget? What's the cheapest Mauser out there? And which ones shoot the cheapest ammo? I'm not looking for anything super nice since I just got an Enfield/Mosin, just maybe something that costs about $200-400 and would fit in between those two in terms of quality.
Also, are the Swedish Mausers really that much better or is it an unnoticeable difference for an inexperienced shooter?

If you're worried about performance, every surplus Mauser sucks in terms of accuracy when compared to modern versions. Get a Ruger scout, Ruger m77, or cz550. There are some other options I can't remember.

A full stock 550 is GOAT tier accurate, A E S T H E T I C, and affordable (comparatively).

I'm not too worried, just if I'm gonna get one why not get the best

I considered that and chose to buy my two surplus rifles instead
Fucking niggers

400 for a bubba'd Mauser?
I'd give you 50 dollarinis.

Um. Cheapest. Frankly I don't know what surplus military bolt action rifles are left on the market other than as resales. What isn't bubbaed are frankensteins, rechambered and rebarreled by the arsenal, or beat to shit. You can always be lucky but it's getting hard to make generalizations.
