Could a single shot magnum action such as this only not a Whitworth be used to make a 25 06 BR rifle? The guy that has the action I am interested in sent me this link http://www.gunauction.com/buy/13468584 so I could get some idea of what his looks like. He did not say what his was but said it was essentially identical to the one in the link.
I realize the bolt face of a magnum bolt would be a stumbling block but was hoping it could be changed to accommodate the 06 case. So is it possible? I like the idea of a single shot vs a magazine, or box feed. Anyway if that is not possible,
1. What is a magnum load with low recoil one could build a single shot rifle out of. I now shoot 6.5x55 in a Swedish CG80 target rifle. The 25 06 recoil is very similar to the 6.5 . I cannot handle even a 308 for an extended time. I use KickEzz recoil pads on most of my stuff now. My friend has a 1903 he shoots with and hey that thing is brutal!! I watch him put himself through that about 20 times a trip and he is through for the day. We are both old farts.
Help and input appreciated.
