A Great old cartridge, but kinda short for that action, though. It would work, just like a 35 Whelen or other medium length round would work. I still vote 416 Rigby if going Ele class. If not going really big, then 375 H&H, 375WBY, or one of the STW or RUM rounds. If using the stock that is with it,set up for irons, then 375 and up makes the most sense from here.
