[QUOTE="bpcrshooter, post: 2586074, member: 100251"] 8620 is very close to 4140, and 4140 should be well strong enough for any action up to 50bmg, if its heat treated correctly. I know winchester made a 375H&H in their highwall so it must just be a extractor thing. I would call either place and tell them what you are planning to do. They may have an option for you?? Other than those 3 you are pretty SOL for that action, well unless you go to the Italian company's, but Id stay away for your intended purpose. FWIW, maybe winchester would sell a receiver?? If you do go with a MVA, I have a dozen of there sights and scopes\, there quality is 2nd to none problem is, most want to put those receiver's in a cartridge of the era, not modern. Winchester is the only company to do so. matt [/QUOTE]
