Is a LA/SA multi caliber rifle possible with a Terminus Zeus?

[Islas82]

It’s possible.

Received bolt yesterday. I verified headspace with go/no go and everything is perfect. Using accurate mag .308 LA magazine everything fed great.

Made some dummy rounds with Berger 130s to test out, no hang ups.

Took a video of feeding and extracting but I don’t know how to post it.

Works like a charm. Zero feeding/extracting issues.

BUILD UPDATE.

Well the accumag .308 mag was working well until it didn’t. I started having feeding issues with it not picking up rounds, I adjusted feed lips and mag latch height but no luck getting it to run properly again.

I reached out to @HawkinsPrecision and asked about their hunter mag set up, they recommended a 30.06 (standard LA) magazine with their spacer kit. WORKS like a charm, excellent feeding with no hiccups so far. Also the bolt just runs much smoother

I love the flush look of the magazine, I obviously do not intend to hunt with this 20lb set up, but the magazine and DBM quality is great. I understand many shooters will be turned off by mag capacity, I was able to get 4 6.5 CM rounds comfortably plus 2 on my two round holder, that’s more than enough for me and my style of shooting. So if it fits you this is a great option.

So I guess it can truly be a one action set-up with multiple barrels, long and short action.

Glad it worked out for you.

Glad to see it's working well. Great looking rifle man!
