I am about to send off a #1 action to be rebarreled. Going with 6mm CM. Debating on barrel length. Probably go with 24” but open to suggestions.
Also thinking about having a block attached to the bottom of the barrel so the forearm can be attached to that instead of the hanger. I am interested in hearing some thoughts on that. I have no idea on how other single shots have their forearms attached Not really sure if this is a worthwhile effort. I will not be using factory wood so existing holes are a non-issue. I remember reading about this in an old magazine article about #1 accuracy tips.
And I know someone will ask what this rifle will be used for and the best answer I can come up with is “Fun”. Longest range locally is a little over 300 yards, so I want to shoot accurately at least that far. It will also get used for whitetails here in KY. This has been a project that I have had in my head for a while and finally at the point where I am ready to send off an action.
