I was just thinking and almost all of the custom 03s I have encountered were still in 30-06 caliber, a few were in 300 WIN MAG but not many. I did see one in 8X57MM several years ago, kind of an odd combo. I guess short action rounds arent desirable in the 03 action?
A buddy of mine was in the coast guard in the early 70's he did a tour at Adak where he traded some older senior enlisted guy out of 2 m1903 Springfield actions he had them made up into a 7x57 and a .257 Ackley Imp. They work ok for him no rail work done.MB
