I suffer from a condition whereby actual resale value fails to ever make it into the list of considerations on one of my automotive or firearms project. One would think that this might cause me distress at some point, but I have failed to get there yet.
I just got back from talking to my gunsmith and after discussing it I left him to ponder for a week or so what I would like to: 20” light to medium weight barrel, receiver mounted adjustable aperture sight, and restocked with an exhibition grade Mannlicher length Turkish Circassian Walnut blank in a slim full length stock with a steel cap.
The calibers we discussed were 7x57, .338 Federal, and .338x57mm.
Oh, I forgot optics. The condition extends there as well. Old Bausch & Lomb binoculars are the worst. I can’t seem to resist buying them and then having them torn down and refurbished.
