[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 64973, member: 8947"] I have played extensively with these actions and they are very good for building single shot monsters. Personally, I have built a 300RUM with a 36" barrel. About to stock my 338 Mystic (RUM case maxed out and necked to 338) with a 36" barrel. Others in 6.5, and 30 cal. The actions are very strong and have been used for African game stoppers. The P17 bolt face would need a pretty drastic mod. I would suggest getting a P14 instead. Already set up for a magnum bolt face and opening that a bit more is not a big deal. For changes, I would strongly recommend the Timney trigger. It can be tuned easily for a crisp light pull. The cock on opening kits from Numrich are great too. You will have to mod the cocking piece to use the Timney trigger though. Easy fix but you need a TIG welder. The timney can be used with the orig bolt no problem. I went with the RUM case because of cost. Long barrels tend to equal out case capacity and RUM cases are 1/3 the cost of the Wby. Just make sure the actions have no cracks and have at it. Jerry [/QUOTE]
