[QUOTE="Petersen, post: 2941448, member: 8372"] I had an older abolt 2 rebarrelled many years ago. If I remember correctly, some gunsmiths did not like messing with them because of how difficult the factory barrels were to remove. Some actions would get damaged or ruined in the process of removing the factory barrel. For cartridge, if you are using a long action, I'd go with 7 prc over 6.5 prc. My abolt did not have feed rails as part of action. These have a clip that snaps in to the bottom metal, so the feeding is dependent on the clip and how you may need to tune it to work. I went to a 25-06 ackley so needed to remove some material in mine because of how much further out the shoulder went. Lastly, if you want a Picatinny rail for the setup, shoot me a PM. If abolt 2. I had a custom one made from seekins many many years ago. I think I can find it. Lol. I just never used it. The straight 10x scope on it didn't need a 20 moa base. [/QUOTE]
