I know there are bazillions of old rechambered Mausers out there but anybody here ever build an 8mm-06 "on purpose?" I have a Remington 78 .30-06 that I bought a couple years ago for the action that has been just taking up room in the safe. I originally wanted to turn it into a 7.65x53 Argentine but I've since decided I want that cartridge in a Mauser action. I have about every other interesting cartridge under the sun already and have about decided to send the 78 to Shaw and have it barreled to 8mm-06. Already have a 8x57 and an 8mm Rem Mag as well as a .338-06, so I know it is redundant but who cares. I'll put it in a synthetic and possibly have the metal hard chromed or electroless nickeled to make an "all weather" type rig out of it. Anybody here had one built?
