585 nyati build help

[Hugh1234]

I am plaining on building a 585 nyati rifle and I need help in deciding what actions to use. I have heard that a rem 700 action will work. I have also heard that a 1917 endfield and 1914 one will work as well. Will any of these options work and is there any better options that Isent to expensive?

Maybe @Teklanika-Ray will weigh in

A Remington 700 will definitely NOT work.

I would not try it with a 700. Art Alpin (A-Square) relied on the P-14 and P-17 (essentially identical and much easier to find in this country) for most of his hideously ugly but powerful rifles. Truly curious why anyone would want a 585?

Because….why not….
I support building of any rifle in (almost) any calibre as it gets rifles "out there"
Although I would suggest shooting one first to make sure it’s what you want
Oh, and to the OP, M17 Enfield would be my pick, there are others , but a lot more expensive

Didn't ask you. Curious why he was building such a rifle.
