I recently acquired a semi sporterized Winchester model of 1917 rifle . I bought it with the idea of rebarreling for 375 hh , but first I would like to restock it in a nice piece of walnut and maybe shoot it a few times before I rebarrel . my question is should I go with classic stock or monte carlo ? I know I want ebony fore end and hand oiled finish just not sure about style . I like scopes so I will scope it with detachable rings .
I would also appreciate any thoughts on barrel length and contour for proper balance of 375 h&h in this action .
thanks ,
ruff

If you choose "modern" classic stock i.e. straight comb with very small drop, you just don´t need any "Monte Carlo".

I like the Shilen #3 taper for a .375 - seems to me, a .605" muzzle - 25" or 26" bl., .650" on 24"?
