[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1208672, member: 12995"] I agree with JE on this one... It sounds like you might have the longer new Nosler/SAAMI spec chamber. It's about .014" longer headspacing than the original P.O. design. As for your last post, that sheds a lot more light on things. Yeah, sounds like that action should be chambered for SA cartridges only, like .308 Win. You could always have it rebarreled to 7mm-08 AI... Your velocity wouldn't be quite the same, but you would definitely be able to take full advantage of the action & mag length, and the same primers and bullets. About the only things you'd have to sell or scrap would be the Retumbo and the .280 brass. The .280 AI is one of my favorite rounds, but this action is just not made for it. This is the route I would go for this particular action, if I was in your shoes. It might cost more money on your end, but I think you would enjoy the rifle more in the long-run. [/QUOTE]
