[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 1874753, member: 66992"] No it doesn't require a magnum action, but since it's an odd (for the USA) medium case head due to dimension a gunsmith would have to open the bolt head slightly. Best would be to acquire an action for the caliber and then construct the wildcat of your choice. I would strongly recommend to reduce case taper and give it a modern shoulder of 30* (benchrest). Would be then most likely a 7,62×66, but with even more power and much easier on the shoulder. Never understood that RWS made no efforts of modernizing cartridges like the 6,5x68 or 8x68S. [/QUOTE]
