- I am looking for a winter project of sporterizing a military rifle. This
- rifle may be used for an ELK hunt in the future in the northwest.
- I assume that a swedish 6.5mm would be to light for this but would be better
- for informal target practice.
-
- I can get whatever I want for cost thanks to my handy brother-in-laws ffl.
- Rifles considered: Lee Enfield #4 about $70.
- Carcanos 6.5mm about $30. (lousy action i was told)
- Chilean -----|
- Brazilian |-- MAUSERS 98 action only
- Argentinean-----|
- Springfield 1903
-
- What can I get in 7mm Mag. for hunting purposes?
- I do reload so ammo would be no problem.

- Thanks Larry
