I realize you're looking for a varmint rifle, but if you're looking for something in a .224 caliber I'd stick with a 1:12 or so. I recently built a SPR clone with a White Oak Armament 1:7 barrel and as expected I can't get it to group bullets under 75 grains worth a damn, but she loves the 77 gr Match Kings.
Is your Mauser action commercial or military? The only varmint round that I know of that works with the military standard bolt face is the .22-250...

Just an update.I've rebarreled with a 27.5 inch 1in10 twist Shileen barrel. Timney trigger. metal rail, smoothed bolt, and mounted a new Leatherwood scope.
I don't know where you got I was looking for a Varmint gun. I shoot 200 gr *mm Sierra BTHP. I enjoy it much. Just looking for a tack to drive. Blitzzz
