I re-barreled a Persian/Brno action that came to me as a $300 8mm stutzen with Timmey trigger and Lyman sight, changed it to 24" barrel. .

I stumbled upon a $20 used stock with Prince of Wales grip that looked vaguely Corbett so I'm working down the forearm and will solder on a barrel swivel stud.

But in my American ignorance I confused ".275 Rigby" with ".257 Roberts".

So no tiger hunting for me and my $320 rifle. I'll look pretty silly hunting mule deer in my pith helmet.

This thread is the only valid argument I have heard in favor of the metric system.
