The "hole in my safe" - what next?

Ok, so if I were to go with a 300 H&H, what would be the best build process? Pre-64 Winnie Action from the factory, but already cut as a 300? Start with a used .375 H&H action and rebarrel?

If I went with an older rifle, I'm likely looking at a big restocking project - which is fine. I like wood!

Thoughts?

Yes...start there and work up. If you look...you can find one!

That's a fair point on the restocking.

P-64 if you put in the time looking for a rifle.
Or you can use any M70 Classic. I have one in 270 and was quoted about 200$ to open the bolt face, change the bolt stop and remove the magazine block to make it full length.

These can be had around 5-700$

One could also do the same with a CZ550. If you wanted to start from scratch you can buy CZ550 actions from Midway and I think Brownells, just get a magnum length box with a .532 bolt and you're good to go.

I love the 300 Win, its a great cart. But you have a safe full of CLASSIC carts like the 7x57 and 375. Put another one in there to keep them company

Ok, so I DID buy a rifle! Just put some money down on one!

And since it's going to take 10 days to get here (/sigh) we can all play 20 questions!

First hint: Yes, it's used.
