Now what to do with this action ???

One option is to dispose of it. That way I would reduce the number of firearms I have registered ... which might help in the future ...

Or perhaps stick a synthetic stock on it, new barrel, trigger, safety, also would need to be tapped for mounts ... starting to add up ... if it ends up being a clunker ...

What chambering/calibre?

Any suggestions?

Something useful which is not too difficult and perhaps does not duplicate something I already have too closely ...

8.5x63mm is of some interest, but would be close to the 8x68S and if I get the .318 WR, all in the same range ...

A .338/06 - same range.

Something smaller???

I have several 6.5 mm already, so won't do another one unless it is a 6.5x68 and that won't be a clunker. Same for a .250 Savage, would need to be a classic.

A bigger bore???

A 10.75x68 might be of interest, but already have a .404 Jeffery ...

Something that might be of real interest - the 9.3x62mm. And perhaps even a full wood shorter barrel version. Expensive??? Can you get full "wood" synthetic stocks? Never heard of them. A carbine 9.3x62 would be a useful rifle especially in a knock about model rifle.

And probably cost less than a new African model M03 9.3x62 barrel for my M03 believe it or not.

Comments and suggestions please.
