Hello Lou boyd,

i intend to use subsonic ammos mainly, with a silencer, and intend to shoot bullets no bigger than hornady's 500gr round nose.

Altitude is going to vary a lot, as I am in New Zealand and one day you can hunt at 200m and the next at 1200m.

I will get just a contoured barrel blank as I have the tooling and experience to fit properly on an action.

As action choice: winchester post 64, howa, and remington would be the first 3 one I am thinking about, because angled rail are easy to get for them.
I also thought about shortening a mauser action down to the right size for the 458 socom and feeding from a ruger mini 14 mag.

I do not really see the extractor problem with single shot action???
omark or barnard action haven't got an extractor cut on their barrels.

thanks.

Nick
