This thread has reminded me that I made the right decision in getting a Whitworth chambered in 375 H&H as the basis for customizing to get the 375 H&H I wanted rather that going with the J. C. Higgins Model 50 action that I have. A lot of tricky and expensive work was already done.

If I was building a magnum cartridge rifle on military Mauser 98 Action, I would first have the gunsmith check its metallurgy. YMMV...

Harry Selby's .416 Rigby is on a standard length Mauser 98.

I already HAVE your formerly 257 Bob on a nice MAuser re done to a 257WBY, and it is for sale! Mine is an FN Supreme that started life as a 257 Robertts and was then re chambered. PM me if you want to consider this one that is already done up right, with very nice wood, blueing etc.
To answer your original question a standard length '98 or Model 70 is an ideal platform for a 257WBY, I have done customs in this blueprint more than once or twice. Done correctly, no finer deer and antelope rifle can be had.

Harry Selby's .416 Rigby is on a standard length Mauser 98. Yes, and building one today would cost a buttload of $$$$$$

I have a gunsmith friend who likes to say U can do whatever you like with a Mauser action if you have the money and are willing to spend it...
