GrandpasezKid-- Only if the bolt bolt is big enough
diameter as the rim is same(.880) as 12ga
rim. You could put one in a worked over
Savage like I did with 12ga FH. Ferlach makes
one big enough. Better power is my 700HE
and we are trying to get MRC to make
a few changes to fit it better in their
PH action.Ed

SAFARIKIDThanks Ed....keep me posted as I would consider a "practical" size action so I can keep the weight down as I carry them alot more than I shoot them!MRC?I am not familiar with them...any pics of yours? Thanks!

GrandpasezDo a search in this forum on MRC or
PH, Alot of discussion on here.In my
Savage it would only be singleshot.
Here is pic of my case with others.
It is on the right.Ed

500grainsThe GMA has a 0.750" bolt and the fictional MRC PH has a 0.800" bolt (in the fable, at least).

micdisI thought wff hein was considering a bolt action with a .800+ bolt face at one time. Might be worth checking out.
