I am considering building another, perhaps my final, bolt action rifle. It will be built on a small or medium action and I am hoping for a weight at or under 6~6.5 pounds, fixed sights and wood stock. The purpose of this rifle is a coyote or varmint rifle but mostly just a rifle to carry while walking in the woods or fields.
The two cartridges I am considering are the 30 Carbine or the 30 Apache. On another forum I was told the 30 Carbine can only be used in the M1, the 30 Apache is just made up, I really need a ______, and why do I want alight weight bolt action.
So, please, try and stay close to the question or not. Both cartridges will be reloaded and I would like to use cast bullets about 125 - 140 grains.
Considering either the Savage Varmintsr or maybe the CZ 527. Could also be talked into a single shot.
I have a heavy 22 Hornet, Springfield 1922, and a heavy 222 Magnum, Remington 722. Also a 6.5x55, Swedish Mauser. Not looking for a deer rifle but ....
Thanks,
Kevin
