[QUOTE="fj40mojo, post: 496369, member: 19129"] I did a similar project a little over a year ago only I used a Santa Barbara action. I was at odds because I didn't want the long throat inherent to the SAAMI chamber, called Dave Kiff at PT&G and he recommended the PT&G 6.5x55 Match reamer. It did not dissappoint, I'm able to load secant ogive 140grn bullets at magazine length and I'm .005 off the lands. Only downfall is it is a tight neck and requires neck turning with Lapua brass. I'm shooting 140grn SST at 2850fps with Lapua brass H4831 and Fed primers into 3/8" groups. I put a Douglas 1:8 Premium Air Guaged barrell on it, high gloss bluing and refinished the Fajen stock that it came in. Now I'm preparing for my second Mauser build on a JC Higgens M50 action. You are incorrect, these actions are FN Mausers made in Belgium not Interarms. They are I'm told the best commercial Mauser actions ever made. I picked mine up off of the local internet classifieds for $300. I originally approached George Vais to do my first Mauser and he turned the job down because it wasn't an FN action, he literaly refused to do any Mauser build unless it was done on this action. My new build is going to be a .280AI, 26" Krieger 1:9, cerracoted in a B&C Medalist stock. Barrell is inbound now, can't wait. Like your comment "take a child hunting" Here is me and my son with the Swede's first kill last fall.
