Yes many thanks for your replies , yes jb1 , very good information popping up , I never expected to get the replies I have , I guess it shows it’s a little calibre with a big following , all this information will prove very valuable in the future, thank you for all your help , I will try and...

Thankyou for your replies , I will find an action and go from there , it will be a rifle that is used a lot so it’s probably worth the time and money to do it right , has anyone got any recommendations of gunsmiths they’ve used ? Thanks

That’s easier than first thought , i did initially think that I would go down the route of having a rebarrel on something , then I can be sure of what it’s done and should last me a good few years , has anyone got any recommendations of rifle builders ? Thanks

Great thanks
