Mine started with a ruger american 3006 i swapped for my versamax shotgun. Had a pencil thin barrel that would heat up fast so wasnt much good for targets. Had it made into a 6.5 06 instead
Do you have any good pictures of this rifle please? I also have a BSA small bore rifle in the safe waiting for some funds to get started on the same project...Quote:

Are the vickers the same thing?
Basically yes
thanks mate would not have been able to awnser that have only seen photos of the Vickers
I thought the vickers were a one piece barrel and action thing.
Not quite the same as the bsa
^^ correct. The Vickers is most easily recognized by its one piece stock. I've had a Vickers since I was 18 and it's still right up there with my most accurate 22s . . .
Ive seen those martinis made into centerfires. Were they ever built as them. After reading the 22 grendel thread my mind is pondering something or not a suitable action for one?
Yes.Quote:

The Cadets are a wonderful wee action, and very strong. However the have a very small barrel shank (about 0.75" if I recall correctly) and this is a severe limitation on what it's sensible to chamber them in. Many years ago Geoff Slee (a maker of superb stocks in Aussie) showed me two Cadet hornets he'd made for his sons, and both were giving issues due to the use of hot loads.
So it can be done, frequently is, but be aware of the potential downsides!
I've got a Vickers Martini barreled action someone can have for cheap if anyone wants a project.
Argggggghhh nooooo see this is how it startsQuote:
