You could do the same with the action of your choice.

I also shoot 225gr TSX @ 2700fps for great accuracy and awesome penetration.

Ya know, I don't care much for the S/S Synthetic rifles much but.....that is a good looking rifle!
I've been looking into the idea of building a 35 Whelen on a BLR. Seems possible so far. Stainless in a gray laminate stock would look good. Oh ya, I don't like S/S??????
