If I was to use a pre '64 I would have just went 25-06 AI. I found a new Winchester CRF in 22-250 on gunbroker for $600 shipped so I picked it up. I dig 22-250's so it's going to be hard to do but this will be the donor action. Like many others I wish Winchester would use the old trigger on these new crf's but in the end and like Sitka said---I couldn't overcome my desire to use a short action. If the 250 shoots I'll have to find another or maybe a Dakota action will fall into my lap...I wouldn't mind using a kimber action either but I like the bolt handle on the 70 better. Anyways I have a walnut blank that's been curing and is going out to be cut. I'll post some pictures when I get everything together. Thanks for the help all, that's why I love this place!


If at first you don't succeed; shoot, shoot again
