Mines a 50 metal in 51 wood. .30-06. Bought it because it was cheap and already had a Timney trigger and Leupold 4x on it. Was going to make it a 6.5x55. The problem is it shoots to well as a.30-06.
Well, you broke the first rule, "never shoot the donor"...
The Swede is a good one, but t's hard to beat the ole '06...
IIRC, Hi Standard fitted those barrels for Sears, reportedly, some were chrome lined. I've read accounts of their accuracy.
Those guns may be the ultimate sleeper, often selling for less than the value of the action.
