I like these rifles as well. When I went to the Colorado School of Trades (1998), I built three of these in 300 Win Mag. One for me, my FIL, and his brother. Those rifles have been all over the US, and on two Safaris. My FIL had me build him a 416 Rigby on a Winchester and he took it on his last trip to Africa before he passed on two years ago. He said they were his favorite rifles and he made lots of good memories for him. I have both of his, along with my 300 and an '06 that was my dads. Yep, I have a soft spot for the 1917's as well.
Very cool, any photos?
