Default Sako 85 XS to PPC bolt face?

Has anyone opened up a Sako 85 XS (extra small) bolt face from .223 Remington to PPC? It looks like there's enough meat to do it, just wondering if anyone has tried it.

TIA

Jordan: Not a Sako, but my gunsmith opened a savage bolt head in 223 to a 22 PPC for me, works just fine, so I would think the same could be done on your Sako bolt face.

Get on accurateshooter.com and find "carlsbad", Jerry Stephenson. He does excellent bolt work. He could bush your firing pin down to .062 while it's there, too.
