mauser re-build?

[brian923]

i have a turk mauser and i was wanting to turn it into a 338-06. would it be a better idea to leave the turk alone and get a different large ring action? i ask because i think that the turk mauser is a large ring, but uses the small shank barrels.

is it possible to change the threads on the inside of the turk action to a accept a large shank barrel? even change the threads to 700 rem threads?

is it fessible to build a 338-06 in the small shank barrel?

i am wanting to use the rifle for pushing larger pills. 200-300grn. i would like it to be accurate for some target shooting, but also good for hunting. deer to elk, even big bears. i am in the procces of building a 7 rem mag, so i have something that will reach out and get somthing.

back to the 338-06..... what would be a good twist for this rifle?

thanks alot guys, brian.

Brian,
Go to www.accuratereloading.com and scroll to the gunsmithing section. Post your question there. A lot of guys are very familiar with the Mausers there.
