I'd been thinking that for quite some time, the Lee-Speed image and discussionfest of late has somehow gotten my interest focused on these slick little bolt rifles.

I'm not that much of a bolt rifle guy, but there are exceptions...

While out at the Reno show, I had the chance to handle a couple of them, one in 303 that seemed to have had seen much better days, and another one in 375 Express that was holding honest to Hubertus 98% orig Brit condition -- that knock-dead beautiful, spooky glass-like blacking on the furniture, perfect mechanical perfect wood yadda yadda -- total time capsule!

I'm thinking that this action would be the perfect candidate as foundation for a period replica of one of the Take-Down models in .375 with a 30" barrel in the No.1 pattern..!!

That would indeed be a good use for this action.

Cheers
