[QUOTE="BillR, post: 342646, member: 462"] Thanks for the reply Zuba. I sat down with my gunsmith yesterday and really thought this one out. In the end it came down to this. The pistol will need a bunch of changing to do what I want to do and its a bit on the light side to do it also. I was looking at rechambering the gun to .280 AI to get some more horsepower out of it so I could shoot long range with it. And with all it would need and the cost of the gun on top of the changes we decided that I could spend my money better elsewhere and so I passed on it. Good thing I did this before I completed the purchase. What we did decide to do was to build a Specialty Pistol using a Savage Precision Action and build it right the first time. More money yes but less than it would take to correct the short comings I was finding in the Weatherby. And it can have extra barrels made for it and can be whatever I want it to be without a huge outlay of cash each time. So in the end I still do not have a Specialty Pistol but at least have a direction to go. Quick fixes are not always the best I guess. [/QUOTE]
