It already sports a Nielsen adapter, and if you read the initial post, part of the question was 30 cal, I'd like to keep the existing barrel :)

When you say "rebating the rim" do you mean opening up the bolt face diameter ?
If so, nope, not enough meat left on the Omark bolt to go any larger than .470.
Been watching some of the 30-06 stuff by 4AW over in Aus.
He just took a bog standard 06, and reamed the neck quite a bit forward to use 230 Bergers. Pushing them at around 2640 fps out of a 26...
:nose bleed:
The only problem with that would be my 1:10 30 cal barrel .... :D
More shagging around forming brass, and I suspect Gibbs dies would be a lot harder to source than 06AI ?
Haha John, this particular Omark was used for FTR, so it's been scoped since I had it.
It lives in a laminate, vertical grip stock that is well suited to ELR.
I've got a PRS rifle in 6.5 Creed....
Not shooting FTR anymore, so the Omark has become a bit of a safe queen.
Thinking about options for turning it into something a bit more suited to occasional ELR shoots.
Been talking to gundoc...
