I have just come into possession of a Winchester classic in 300 RUM. What big bore can I build on this action? thanks crl The average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary.

the 404 boys will be after you.....it's a rare action and makes a fine 404 Jeffy.... /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Just sent mine to PACNOR for a 470 capstick tube  It will fit any of the H&H sized cases, as it is the long magnum action.Buckeye-I don't know how many of these they made, but the 300 rum and 7mm stw were all over the place a year or 2 before they closed the factory (everybody and their mother was selling them for 499, oh the good old days) | |||

Barrel it to 404, and enjoy it until someone here wants it more than you do. jeffe #dumptrump opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Cool. I was hoping it would work for the 404 cause I just really NEED one. crl The average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty; and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies. | |||

375 H&H, .416 Rigby, etc. "Bitte, trinks du nicht das Wasser. Dahin haben die Kuhen gesheissen." | |||

As others have said I would make a 404 Jefferies or as a second choice any caliber based on the 404 Jeff. case can also be made, Dakota's calibers are mostly 404 Jeff. based cases, there is certainly no shortage of those today. I saw one recently made into the 300 Dakota. bigbull | |||
