I think I am going to go with a bolt. I have just ordered a barrel from Martini & Hagn and am about to order one of Satterlee's new Magnum Mauser action. Just need to find a blank and send it off to be built.

I am really excited for the project.

I may be able to swing the Chapuis as well which would be awesome since the bolt rifle wont be ready for a couple years.

Thanks everyone for the advice.
