Karnis, that Rigby of yours is about as nice as they get. I would'a called it something different though Terry

Here is an orphaned FN commercial action made for Browning that has been opened up to a H&H length cartridge. Been tough to decide which caliber... [img:left] [/img]

Dang, I like Chic and always wanted him to do one for me. Might have to dig out his number.

Not mine, but my all-time favorite Mauser, Dober's G33. Thx putting that one up Mac, I was out at sunrise banging away with it this morn. It's one of those rigs that likes sunrises almost as much as lousy weather...grin Dober

Mark, can you tell us a little about Mash #3. Thanks.
I like the barrel profile and bolt handle.

Thx guyz, Obendorf that started life as a 9.3x64 and then found a better life as a 7 Mashburn Super. Nice stick of wood, barrels stouter than I like but such is life. This barrels toast, wonder how a fluted tube would look on a pretty gun like this? Thoughts guys? I shot a ton of chucks with those old rig.... Thx Dober

Thx TG-believe it or no but I kind of like stainless on the tube with a nice matte finish with pretty guns as well.

Stainless tube, matte/blued actions, IMO look skookum as well! Dad's pard/my best friend's Dad has a 243 like that... 700 matte action that all of us learned on, 26" SS Lilja, and a black HS stock. Love that rig!

Several times I have read on these forums questions about converting military rifles and the fact that you can buy a M70/M700 and others in the range of $400.00 to $800.00.
The concensus is that it is not worth the money or the time to equip a military rifle with the hinged floorplate, adjustable trigger, side safety, etc. that your 4-600.00 purchase comes with from the factory, NIB.
Anyone with a room temperature IQ would not have to ask that question if he saw the rifles pictured. Granted, some of them might cost more than $400.00, but the way I see it, if you have it, then go for it. I have and I did, on more than one occasion.
I don't have any good pictures to show, but I would not hesitate to do it again. If that is what you want and you have the money, you will get a bargain regardless of the cost of a steel guard and floorplate.
