I've drempt up a custom rifle that I'd love to shoot.
Please don't criticize it for cost etc. but instead if this in not possible (and why) etc. Also please don't suggest I buy another gun, especially a k-31.
Basically- I love my steyr m95 stutzen, but dream of it shooting a more common/lighter round. I found while playing with a dummy round that 7.62x54r will chamber and fit in the clips. But got to thinking how easy it'd be to rebarrel it with a barrel chambered in 7.62x54r.
The other thought is to get a .308 barrel and chamber it for 7.62x54r, start loading wildcat (if you can call it that) ammo for it .308 bullets in the russian case.
I know that the steyr m95's are cheap and I can get a Savage in .308 for less...
I love the light weight of the gun, the straight pull design, and the mannlicher clips, so doing this is to make a fun scout rifle that is exactly what I want.
