I want to build a lightweight (hence the small ring) M98 20" barrel in 30'06.

...I know in reality its neither here nor there but I prefer the genuine control round feed of the M98 rather than the push feed, or those that say they are CRF but in fact are not eg Ruger, SAKO

.. I dont want a 308. I want a lightweigh M 98 20" barrel in 30;06
yes I know it will be loud

... Im told old to be carrying a a full length sporter in the bush all day

And I can't believe I've just gotten to the bottom of this entire thread before I realized that it's over three years old. Sorry!




Thanks for adding to this thread, and no need to apologize for doing so. A post may get old, but most of the time they don’t become completely irrelevant or dead. As far as I’m concerned this thread won’t be complete until the OP posts picks of the rifles he was intending to build, and even then there would be plenty of room to comment.

On a forum loaded with so much excellent content over a number of years, I find I have to be constantly mindful of this. As a fairly new member, I'm forever using the search page to dig up more information on subjects of interest. So many times, I turn up great threads on which I'm dying to comment, only to find they're a decade old and half the posters haven't been heard from in years. And on occasion, like now, the date slips by me.

Which brings me to something that I've been overdue in acknowledging: We all owe a terrific debt of gratitude to our intrepid host, whose hard work hereon has made this excellent forum available for our mutual enjoyment, literally, for years. Without John, it wouldn't happen. For every hour we spend browsing the specific boards that interest us as individuals, I'm sure he must spend five patrolling the forum as a whole, keeping everything on track and maintaining the by and large civil and friendly tone that marks this forum, in contrast to some others. From this, we all benefit by great conversation and the steady exchange of useful and fascinating information about our hobby. This makes it my hands-down favourite, at the top of my list of bookmarks.

Well done, that man!

Thanks for the kind words.

And feel free to re-open any old threads. We keep them for that reason.

Actually a great way members can show appreciation is to our number of great regular posters and thread starters is to PARTICIPATE and POST REPLIES on their threads. Many people enjoy them in silence, but replying shows APPRECIATION for the posts. We have a small number of regular great posters. I could name them, but probably forget to mention some, and we know who they all are. Just had a look at thread with about five posts without a single intervening reply. A thread with many pages over time. I enjoy always at looking at the posts. What a great effort by this and other members.

Participation, replies show thanks and appreciation for their efforts.

Very well put, John. A post without replies, withers on the vine. The discussion that follows is where the majority of the knowledge is imparted, and that's why we're here. Without discussions, the forum would soon die. Thanks to a group of prolific posters on here, I've learned a incredible amount in the last year, for which I'm hugely grateful.

In the long run it will probably be just as expensive, with a lot less wait and angst, to buy a Rigby rifle outright. EDIT. Try QGE in Brisvegas.
