Scored another deal (?) today at the pawn shop....
It is a very cool rifle, and you are right, no flies on the .300 Savage cartridge either.
I do reload, and will play with this a bit. Should there prove to be any issues with the present chambering (which I rather doubt) there are plenty of 700 take off barrels out there. Ideally, I would like to make it a 257 Roberts if it needs rebarreling. My little girl will be wanting a rifle of her own here in a few years.....
Rob is correct about the .300 cartridge. We are purty darn close to the Idaho line, and folks come in on a fairly regular basis asking for rifles so chambered. We just sold a very minty 99 with a Herters 4x scope for $599. It was a late '40s rifle, REAL nice. Had it been a .250 it would have been difficult to pass up!
