Hi All,
I have been absent from the forum for some time and now getting back on.
In my limited gun/rifle collection, I have the following centrefires:
270 Win - in Winchester pre-64 M70 fwt
308 Win - in Winchester pre-64 M70 fwt
308 Norman Magnum (identical too 30/338) - in a full classic custom rifle built on M98 some many years ago
375 Chatfield-Taylor (AKA 375/338WM) - in a Ruger M77
I have a spare Mauser 98 action ready for another build. As the smallest CF is 270 Win was thinking of something under that. As you can see I like classic calibres and so was thinking of a 257 Roberts Ackley Improved (AI). I have a gunsmith in the family so this is no issue. I know I could get a 26-06 or a 243 Win but really preferred a classic calibre and to do justice to the long (versus medium, i.e. 243/308 size) action.
I am happy for thoughts and comments on this.
Oh, yes. I am in Australia and moved a couple of years ago to Red Deer country in SE Queensland. .
