[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 486014, member: 10"] No rolling block will be rigid enough or strong enough for what you want. The Ruger #1 will easily handle the Edge if converted correctly. The TC Pro Hunter SHOULD NOT be chambered in the Edge. YOu will get alot of frame stretching and that will result in frame damage and case stretching. Yes its chambered in the Rigby but remember that you are only allowed to shoot factory ammo or factory speced reloads in the Prohunter which means 2350 fps with a 400 gr bullet. The Rigby does this with around 55,000 psi in pressure. Very low pressure. The Encore is not strong enough for the RUM class chamberings because of their PSI rating and case diameter. Trust me, before they said no to these chamberings, I had two custom encores in 7mm RUM and 7.21 Tomahawk and both shot extremely well but were miserable failures. One of the receivers was stretched to the point that it had to be scrapped and brass life was VERY short producing case head seperation VERY quickly. If you want a precision rifle, the only one thats easily accurized is the bolt action and its by far the strongest design as well so do not try to reinvent the wheel, there is a reason that 99% of all precision rifles are bolt actions.
