[QUOTE="Chopaka81, post: 374639, member: 9217"] I once poured some $$ into a M98. It was a mint 1912 Styer in 7x57. I had the smith chop the barrel at the first step and re-bore it to 280 Rem and this a big mistake. I should have had a new barrel put on the rifle. I did not realize that the magazine on the 98 is shorter than a M700. I was young (20 something) and thought I knew it all. The action does feed 280 ammo correctly, but the bullets are seated very deep. Factory ammo will not fit into the magazine. I should have left the chamber alone. That being said I do have a very accurate reload for that old barrel using a 162gr Hornady SPBT. Is my rifle worth a k-buck? I think not. But it does shoot minute of mule deer. [/QUOTE]
