458 Win Mag on a 98 action?
      12/12/07 08:41 PM

Does anyone here use a 458Win Mag on an original Mauser 98 action?I have a old 8x57mm,VZ 24 Mauser 98 action on hand.I had originally got the rifle to butcher for a 338-06 but have since gotten the bug for a really large bore chambering and was thinking about a 458 Win Mag on a 22inch barrel with a really nice monte carlo style walnut stock and a 2x7 Leupold and no iron sights.Anyone have any tips on proceeding with this?or things I should be aware of with building a large bore rifle?
I built a beautiful 25-06 Ackley Improved two years ago on an identical action with a 26 inch barrel and I have the bug for building my own custom rifles.But anything above a 45-70 is unfamiliar ground to me ..i.e 458 Win Mag,etc
Thanks in advance for any tips or help or just general chit chat you would care to add about this.
Gene
