Building a Bolt Gun

Bully,
if you plan on single loading, then magazine box issues may be a "don't care" kind of a thing. If you plan to run it as a repeater, then you might also mention to your gunsmith that you intend to run it as a repeater and please check the magazine box geometry for reliable feeding with that differently proportioned cartridge than what the magazine box was originally setup for. And perhaps you might have to get a different magazine follower for the different sized cartridge. Have fun with the custom build!

If you live in the land of guns and the 2nd...I'd watch for a ruger 77 stainless 7.62x39 boat paddle and do a barrel swap to Grendel. That's on my list for one day to have a proper stainless quality bolt action as legacy doesn't seem to want to bring in howa's in stainless like they get in other markets. There is some sako super short action options out there that could work also for a proper quality bolt action build that base off the right case face and magazine length. Just some other ideas and thoughts.
