Craig,
Put a K-3 Weaver with a post on it and you'll have a classic Eastern US stalking/woods rifle. Every one of those I've ever shot will shoot my favorite .35 Rem handload into an inch & a quarter or less. (38.0 gr. of H-335 w/180- gr Speer FP) That is the top load in the Speer manual. Two of my buddys shoot that same load in a Marlin with excellent results.
I had a similar aged on in .300 Sav. I bought a extra barrel and am having it bored & rerifled to .358 Win. Which is one of my favorite cartridges.
