OK pre-64 men, lets have a little fun. Its winter here in northern michigan so not good shooting weather. So lets pool our expertise and design the ideal hunting rifle for anything in North America built around a pre-64. We can start with the action of course, consider the pros and cons of the various cartridges and finally select a cartridge, then consider stock options, ideal dimensions, perfect optics, etc. We probably won't agree on much but it will be fun. There's no wrong idea, other than we stick with a pre-64 action to start.
I'll start us off by throwing out a couple ideas and then you guys take it from there. Since we don't have a cartridge yet, lets just say we'll take a early 50's vintage action, but swap the steel bottom metal for a featherweight to save weight and have the bolt knob checkered for a little fast bolt work.
OK, let the ideas start coming. Thanks for playing.
