Hello Gentlemen,

I know that this is a LONG SHOT, BUT I thought I would take my chances to see if anyone could help me? I am doing a project for my daughter and am looking to see if anyone can point me in the right direction? Maybe refer me to someone at least?

I am looking for a short action in either a Ruger #1, Sako, Dakota or Pre 64 Mod 70. I want to have it chambered for a 243. I know with how things are with the liberals in office- no one wants to turn loose of anything and everyone is hoarding their items. Do any of you happen to have any leads of any kind? Know of anyone who could help me? Any info would be greatly appreciated guys. I promise I am an upstanding guy and am not out to screw anyone. I have done business with plenty of guys on here so I assure you I am not out so screw anyone over. Please feel free to send me a PM if you would like.

thanks guys!!

No true short action pre-64 were manufactured by Winchester.

You'll need to find a classic manufactured post 1990ish.

They did make. 243 pre 64 but Winchester did not produce a "short action" receiver in the pre 64 years. Winchester produced 3 different variations of the pre-64 receiver, based on chambering. They are the "standard", "short magnum" and "H&H magnum" receiver.

Ruger 1 single shots have no action length. There is one action size It can be barreled or rechambered into just about anything

Someone has a Ruger .243 for sale in the classifieds I think

When placing a want to buy thread, watch out for scammers.

Looks like a nice one. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...ch/true/ruger-no-1a-243-win#Post17113611

A fellow fire member had a Tikka ultralight .243 posted here the other day for a KILLER price. I have one in stainless steel and they are wonderful rifles. You might check and see if he still has it listed. I was tempted to buy it and sell mine.

Would a browning 78 in 6mm interest you.
