I currently have one that has been rebarreled by Atkinson in 7mm Mauser. It will soon be rechambered in an improved version of this cartridge.
A shop in my old hometown (Phoenix) went out of business yesterday and a friend picked up another 788 for me. Currently chambered in .243 I had him purchase it as I already have a Canjar trigger and scope bases for it.
While I won't be building a thousand yard hunting rifle on this action, I am thinking it might make nice 6.5x284 or similiar.
Thoughts on this action for an inexpensive project?
Thanks,
Mike
