Seeing this ( https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Lis...?id=2605383667 ) on TM today got me thinking - I wonder if a Howa mini could swung up in a couple of machines and turned so it would fit in a tube - then "replication" of the SSRNZ action might be possible. Biggest problem might be the trigger, a hanger like that used on Barnards might work. Whether it was "economic" would be a whole other discussion.
I bet Mitch could make one up might be costly though.
It would have to be the same diameter as a rem 700.
You have to get a lot of extrusions to get a special run.
I think he said 100 meters.
Maybe you could sleeve it.
150kgs is the minimum for most places, and that’s for a listed non stock product

Tube guns need a round action like a rem 700
It can be as simple as exhaust tube so the stories go
Howas are flat in the base of the action

Unless you make a kind of hybrid chassis rifle
