Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats 375 Ruger in a Mexican Mauser action

There are large ring Mexican Mausers, as well. There is nothing wrong with them for high powered cartridges, but you must have the action and bolt checked for hardness. You may have to have them heat treated again.

257 AI is a favorite of mine; I'd leave it that way if I were you.

Have you checked out the CZ actions available through Brownell's:

?

The other thing you could do is grab up a Zastava rifle (Remington 798) as donor? Grab one in 7mm Mag or 300 Win Mag and you could probably get a few bucks for the take-off barrel to fund the project, and I think they have decent triggers, though for a DG cal like the 375 Ruger I'd go w/ the shroud-mounted M70 style safety.

Its worth a try, and lets you have your cake and eat it too !
