Re: 505 Gibbs on a `98?

The 98 action is too short.

A .505 Gibbs has a .640" rim diameter which when put on a .700" bolt like the CZ550 leaves very metal left on the side opposite the extractor. Better get an action with a 0.750" bolt diameter so that the large Gibbs rim can be handled properly. Granite Mountain, Reimer Johannsen and others make such an action.
