This one is a stunner, although it was a shame to use a DST action obviously from a Schuetzen rifle as a varminter. That was common practice in the 50's and 60's, however, and more than likely the rest of the rifle was long gone before the conversion process began.
You are correct. The action came to me as just that - an action. I didn't wreck a piece of history for this project.
I once had a nice High Wall varminter by Hartley chambered for the .219 Donaldson Wasp. One heck of a piece of fiddleback maple.
