"Frag-ile" in a bad Italian accent, folowed by "You'll shoot your eye out kid".

There definitely is some potential in that rifle, if I it was a decade ago I'd build either a .358 Norma or .375 H&H. I have a 1917 Winchester that's a .300 H&H, I bought it in a fairly rough condition as well. I didn't do much to it except re-stock it, added a Timney, and threw a scope on it. It already had the belly taken out, changed to COO, and rechambered to .300 H&H with the feed rails worked.
