That is in fact the plan when the issue of the calibre is decided. Unfortunately we have to apply for a "slot" for a specific calibre rather than a class or even bore size! This makes it difficult to go rifle shopping for example at auctions but I like both the calibre and the rifle.

I had seen a nice Churchill in 458 Win mag and an equally nice TT Proctor in the same calibre that I was wondering could be reamed out to 458 Lott if that was the calibre I ended up going for.

I do think it has to be a nice old mauser of some description, I couldn't abide a new Sako 85 for example, as lovely as they may be.
