The action I am talking about is a 30-06 lenght small ring with the 3 rd locking lug. They were made in the 60s and 70s and sold as HVA. Some were also marketed by Smith & Wesson. They had a different style bolt stop and ejector. Is there some reason no one uses these to build rifles. They had aluminum bottom metal but it seems there would be a steel version that could me modified to fit. | ||

I think these are great actions! The very early actions had steal bottom metal. I think a lot of folks just don't like the position of the bolt release. Makes custom stocks look awkward. Matt FISH!!

A gunmaker told me that, With some cutting and welding, a 1909 bottom metal can be fit to these. Matt FISH!!

I have one that was customized by Steve Berg and he used commercial steel FN bottom metal and said it fit with no additional modification. Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Maybe I'm thinking of the Mexican?  Matt FISH!!

I figured something could be made to fit the bottom. I have seen plenty of the aluminum assys on the rifles but I never ran into a steel one except on the large ring HVA. I think it is curious that people are so fixated on VZ 33s and G33-40s and never look at this action. | |||

My wife's .30-06 is built on one using Jerry Fisher bottom metal and a Lapour 3-position safety. The bottom metal fit without issue and the whole thing is about the trimist rifle I have held (when my wife will let me). One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas.

Backsides of the HVA 1600 series (as they where named here in Swe) is in my opinion the following: -The extractor doesn't pull in on the case as the true M-98 does. It' like a M-96 and will snapp over a tight case like a pushfeed. -Extractors is impossible to get if they break, a M-96 extractor is possible to modify though. -The original trigger is integrated with the safety. The trigger is no good and not suitable to modify. The tang of the action needs work to remove signs of the safety assembly if you want to replace the safety/trigger with anything better. -Ugly and no good boltstop. There is a way around this to if you want to skip the ugly cut and hard to get to button for the bolt release. You have to put your little finger or a small stick into the action to press down the stop. But you dont get the ugly cut in the stock and theres not much more difficult to get the bolt out with the original set up. _____________________________________________ The bitter taste of poor quality stays in the mouth far longer than the sweet taste of the low price! | |||

I do not really see these issues as any more significant that the normal stuff done to M98s that could be more than 100 years old and might be from any arsenal. The HVA do have more modern heat treat and the workmanship is not bad.
Some day G33-40s will be gone. What will be its replacement? | |||
