In the process of building a sporting rifle from an old M98 mauser action. Got a deal on a 270 cal. barrel along with the action, so a 270 winchester seemed the obvious choice, but I've been looking at the possibly of doing a 270 Weatherby Magnum instead. Since this project is a first for me, I was hoping some of the more experienced smiths around here could answer a question or two.
Is there any reason why the mauser action cant take the "stress" from the little magnum?
And, what problems, if any, could arise from opening up the bolt face to accept the approx. 1/16 larger rim of the Weatherby Mag. case?
Thanks for any help.
