Comment: Ultra lightweight sambar rifle, excellent bore, Leupold rings, Geoff Slee stock, three round capacity.
No doubt one can find a medium calibre M98 actioned rifle for $1000 to $2000. But a .300 is not a big bore rifle, would require re-barrelling plus whatever other work, and the above rifle, a "ultra lightweight" rifle would not be a suitable candidate at all. Unless someone wanted a .404 with punishing recoil.
BTW could not find that rifle, what price was it?
