In a parallel world, once upon a time I found myself with 2 new Steyr-Mannlicher carbines in 22-250 but only one stock. I decided to send the stockless one (unfired!) off to Snapp's in Michigan and asked for him to rebore it to 250 Savage. This was very successfully accomplished but my old die set slightly oversized the brass so I adjusted the die to not approach the shoulder and give a firm seat on closing the bolt. At a gun show, I was looking at stock blanks and spotted a very dusty one in "Mannlicher" length that had German railway shipping labels on it. For $10 how could I go wrong for a well aged piece of European walnut. A friend mated the 250 to the blank and presto, my favorite non-single shot deer rifle.
