[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 117616, member: 2011"] Can't tell fur sure but it looks like a large ring Mauser which will handle any cartridge you would care to use. If switching from the 25-08 it may be wise to have it rockwell hardness tested...... Do a search on reamers and see the diff between 25-08 and 243 you may find some interesting stuff. Regarding the stock. Its sure looks like a solution to you shooting in the heat of the day. Fill the forend w/water and set in the freezer overnight. Then when you go shooting build a lonnnng cooler and go from there.
