I have an argentine mauser action setting in my gun safe. Have thought for a long time about building a 338-06. How would the cartridge work in the mauser? I'm thinking that the magazine would not really be as long as I would want. Also, I know that the '91 argentine mauser is considered one of the best mauser actions to build from.
I am also now considering a 6.5x55. That should fit nicely in the argentine.
Understandably this isn't going to be a tactical rifle. Would you use a mauser for a build, or something more modern? Trying to decide if I want to start a project with the mauser. Would it be acceptable for a build? Too weak? Anyone had second thoughts after starting a mauser project.
