Going to pull the 22" factory barrel with screw filled sight holes, and replace it with a stainless 24", fluted, TI take off. Old m8 6x42, is gonna go back to Leupold for an LRD reticle change, and the bolt will go off to Eddie for a fluting, and lightening cuts. The whole thing will get ceracoat ed, graphite black, and go back into a nice walnut stock.
No use for it, but I want a project. I intend to run either 168 gr ttsx's or 180gr partitions. This all sound dumb ?

Have a 22", don't like it. Shoots awesome, just don't like it.

Beautiful stock. Sounds like a great project. I'd go 280 though.

Sounds like a great way to get a gun refreshed without a lot of money.
The wood stock is very nice; I might be tempted to get some checkering on it.

If this is the subject action I would replace it with a better design.
All guns should be locked up when not in use!

I don't think it's dumb at all; I kinda like having a project or two going.
All those mods sound good, but I'd add one thing....
That's a beautiful stock. I'd get it checkered!
PS- what you said ain't dumb but I guarantee that whatever Dumb Don said IS dumb...

Trying to remember the place in Mn, or WI, where my 280ai got checkered ???? The other side of the 06 stock is not as figured.

Beautiful. I like the ebony grip cap. They do great work up there.
I like the smooth look on certain rifles (sporterized Mausers Springfields & Enfields) but for a truly finished custom rifle checkering is a must.
Love me some wrap-around action!
