I have an order now that may be an inspiration for you.
I know a left handed man in south Wyo who wants a powerful reliable rifle, good for moose, big bears and later on, Africa.
We got a Ruger M77 270 at a yard sale. Cost him $325
Then I got a 9.3Mm barrel blank.
I am turning the blank down to the same contour as the Ruger barrel. I chamber it to 9.3X62. The 06 action and mag work with the cartridge just fine. I then will blue it and put the rifle back together.
Instant moose-rifle.
Excellent reliability and accuracy with almost the same power as a 375, but costing a LOT less.
It also gives you a 4 shot mag (some guns will give you 5)
It doesn't need a magnum length action.
It can use a 20 inch barrel with little loss of velocity.
I weighs less then the 365s and yet doesn't kick very hard.
There is just no down side.
