G'day Everyone.

Just a few questions on this action.....

1. Will this action fit the 250-3000 cartridge?

2. Does this action in 7.62x39 have close enough boltface to fit the 250-3000?

3. Does anybody make a triggerguard/floorplate/magazine for this action?

Silly questions, I know

Cheers,
Mark.

Calhoon does a mag/floorplate thing, IIRC.

1. I think the magbox will be too short.
2. Bolt face will have to be opened up to .473" and I don't know if there is enough meat.
3 Answered, but I don't think you will fit that case in the magazine.


You would be better off doing something on a Grendel case with the 7.62x39 base rifle. Mag length is going to restrict use of the heavier bullets in each caliber. Find out what the max length for the mag box is and go from there.

It is really too short for the .250-3000. I think you may be able to cram it in but you would be severly limited on what bullets you could use. A 6.5 Grendel would be a better choice

Maybe a .250 PPC. roger

That was the route I went.

Thanks fellas

The CZ 527 bolt only measures .590. I wouldn't want to open it up any more. Kenny

Why go to so much trouble and still have an action with (1) a protruding magazine, (2) a huge, festering bolt root which requires the scope to be mounted way too high in order to clear it, and (3) a backward safety which is bound to get you (or someone else) into potentially serious trouble sooner or later?

* It's cool.

**Calhoon. Swap your
bolt handle, it's a drop-in.
