What are you feeding this piece? I'm quite interested in one of these and wondering if it will be strong enough for a diet of commercial 150gn 308.

I have terrible ideas of making one into a scout rifle but ill keep that to myself.

G'day CAVEMAN,
These are all 1898 actions, nearly all German or Czech and will tolerate any commercial 308 Win. ammo, Cheers.

I've heard that but always been hesitant. But the Germans know good steel, and the Israelis know how to recycle.

About the time the "Berlin Wall" came down a stack of wartime rifles became available from East German sources. I saw one at my LGS and it was made in 1941 still in the cosmoline..and I had little idea of its worth as a hunting rifle and I left it there, well the Bankcard was already running hot too. 1941 ? Things were going 'well' for the Nazi regime in 1941 so by that the rifle would have been well made, good steel, proofed etc. It was not pretty so I guess it ended up in the back of a ute some where.
It was in 8 x 57.
