Buying, building is the first question mmm the mauser 98 action has many barrels for caliber, lots of parts. In 8mm 200 grain semi jacketed flat nose or standard boat tail can do quite a bit, there are all kinds of FITTED BARRELS 7MM/338, .308 WIN/ 308 WIN/ 7.62x51 mm .30-06 lots out there fairly reasonable.

I'm open on platforms and I'm currently leaning towards .300WM, 7mm Rem and 6.5mm CM

Those are all pretty fancy rounds. The ammo will cost you a bunch. Get a .308 bolt action. Remington 700 action. Get a good scope. Practice.

I was concerned that .308 might not have the punch to drop a mule deer cleanly at the longer ranges
