Springfield 1903 - 458 Winchester Magnum
I picked up another 1903 sporter a while back.
This time, it's rebarreled to 458 Winchester Magnum.
The maximum pressures of 30-06 and 458 are within a couple thousand PSI, or closer depending on the measurement method.
From a felt recoil viewpoint, 458 seems pretty dang hot for the 1903 action.
Anyone have any thoughts on that? Ever seen one?

Back during the late 1950's and 1960's, Maynard Buehler claimed his scope mounts would hold their zero no matter what caliber. His photos in the American Rifleman and other shooting magazines showed his alter US Enfield 1917 with a 18 inch barrel chambered in 505, magazine held two rounds. After shooting this Enfield 505 the scope still held with coming looseAttachment 127394Attachment 127395
