Great article in the latest Rifle on the virtues of pump action hunting rifles.
JES in Oregon converted a old Rem 760 in 300 Savage to 358 Win for me. Taking it bear hunting next week. In hind sight, should of had it converted to 35 Whelen...but at the ranges I'll be hunting, there's not much difference.
Appreciate hearing about others sharing my insanity for those old pumps.
Anyone that would take a .300 Savage and convert it to something else - needs to have their head examined.
Don't you realize that they only ever made a couple of them in .300 Savage and that it was worth more money being a .300 Savage then being anything else?
The most desirable ones are in .222 Remington - very rare.
You couldn't convert a .300 Savage into a .35 Wheelen because the .35 Wheelen was a long action rifle and the .300 Savage is a shot action rifle. The clip to hold the shells wouldn't fit in the gun.
