My first #1 was the AB in 7x57 with a great piece of wood but that was 40 or so years ago and I still miss that rifle. Current #1's are 22 Hornet. This has exceptional wood for a #1 and a case colored receiver, 250 Savage, 405 Win, 450/400 NE, 375 H&H, 35 Whelan. I've used the action on two custom builds a 7MM/08 and a 300 H&H. One is currently in the works which will be with a half round hale octagon barrel in 300 Savage .
