I want to build a light weight, 20" barrel M 98 in 30:06. That's why Im looking for the small ring. Ruger made a lightweight a while ago but dont make them anymore and they are few and far between secondhand. Also the ruger, despite the claims is push feed. I just love the Control Round Feed of the Mauser. CZ make a 20" carbine but as best as I can see in Australia you can only get the 308. I dont want a 308, I want a 30:06.
Why lightweight? Because Im too old to be carrying a full weight sporting through the bush all day.
