Thanks Snow Dog thats what I figured.Snow Dog said:It's probably OK but you might be pushing things a bit. If you have a choice go with the 98 just to be that much safer - it can handle the higher pressures that the larger calibers generate. The 96 action would be a good choice for a light weight rifle in a suitable varmint caliber.
