[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 358968, member: 13833"] I had a #1 Safari that I rebarreled with a 30" Lilja in 300 ultra. It was a great shooter and a 1000 yd. elk thumper. I liked the falling block a lot so I'm building a 300 Sherman on the Browning 78 action. It's a little smoother than the Ruger and has a better extractor. What I really like about both is with a 30" barrel, they are 1/4" shorter overall than my 700 Rem with a 26" barrel. They really handle nicely. Some guys cringe over my tearing apart a 78 but oh well:D. The Browning has a small shank barrel (about 1.100") but has room for a 1.250" so I'm putting a modified Palma style from Bartlein. While I was waiting for the barrel I pillar bedded the tang and shot the original '06. It now shoots 1/2" so I'm really excited to get the Barlein 5R on and see what it does!......Rich:D:D [/QUOTE]
