[QUOTE="Texanjohn, post: 1628927, member: 47686"] 788’s had 3 action lengths if I recall, 44 mag was the short action, 222,22-250,were long action, and 6mm,7mm-08,and 308 were referred to as extra long, don’t know if the 22-250 you have will be a good choice to “hot rod” that and the bolts with rear locking lugs made anything more powerful then a 308 a poor option, I’m no expert but I did collect 788’s for a while,only one I still have is a 257 Roberts made from a 6mm , cause it was easy, same parent case, good luck in your quest for a “hot rod” [/QUOTE]
