On giving this some considerable thought I decided that what I need is a 99F or 99G in 300 Savage that has been drilled and tapped and that is CHEAP since it's collector value has been ruined. This will give me a two barrel set with a scope. At first I thought I could use a Stith or Lightfoot mount but then I couldn't change the barrels quickly. Darn! now I need to buy another 99.
Heat treating wouldn't hurt the other action it's already white. I think you guys thought it is a squareback. It's an early rounded receiver, serial # is something like 141xxx. I have a real early 303 octagon barrel that probably should be rebored to something like 38-55 that could go on the early receiver. David
