[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1912911, member: 93138"] Are you familiar enough with the math that he used in his analysis to adjust the dimensions and re-run the calcs? If not I think that you'd be better off buying an action and building the rest of the rifle. I can do that math and I'd likely buy an action. Mostly because I'm still working and that is a big project to make in a home shop. I have too many other demands on my time. If you don't have those constraints then I'd suggest more research before committing to the project. A quick scan of gun broker for the Browning single shots known to me didn't show any currently for sale in magnum calibers. I *think* that they were offered in those chambers, I just didn't see any. Same quick scan shows #1's in 7mm Rem and .257 Roy mags. Then there are rifles like this: [URL]https://www.accurateshooter.com/guns-of-week/amazing-breech-block-50-bmg-rifle/[/URL] If tooling is an issue I'll suggest looking at the Gingery books on amazon.
