Post 64 W70... SA cartridge in a LA - 07/13/18
It's summer, it's hot, I'm contemplating new builds.
I have an extra McMillan stock sitting here inletted for a post 64 W70, long action. I don't really need any more hunting rifles and I'm becoming adverse to heavy kicking rifles so I'm thinking something low recoil would be fun for range use. Bonus points, a short action cartridge I could load without concern to mag length.
I'd like to try a MRC action, however after contacting them it appears I can get a complete rifle for significantly less than a stripped action. That being the case, having a factory barrel shortened and rechambered becomes a possibility to initially save a few bucks on running a custom barrel.
Anyone running something along these lines? Thoughts on feed/eject functionality?
