[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 969003, member: 79106"] [B]United States Rifle, cal .30, Model of 1917. [/B]Manufactured by Eddystone, Winchester and Remington.Excellent rifle and very strong action. Have always been a big fan. You could have your bolt face opened up (or find a P-14 bolt) and re-chamber to 300 WM (I had one re-chambered to 308 Norma years ago and was a real shooter). You can get a Dayton trigger from Brownells for about $60 I think and I believe they sell a cock on open kit as well. This will improve the lock time quite a bit. Would not be very high on my list as a long range hunter but will get the job done. Cold Trigger Finger has the right idea. While perhaps not the best long range candidate it is an excellent choice for re-barreling to the big magnums. The action is long enough to chamber to the 458 Lott if so desired. I believe A-square used this action for their massive 577 Tyrannosaur. Strength is not an issue as long as it is in good condition. Either way have fun. [/QUOTE]
