[QUOTE="WWP2012, post: 1595970, member: 108485"] Hello everyone, I have a friend who inherited his grandfather’s gun collection. He wants to build one of them into a modern rifle for himself in 280ai. The question comes in which action to use and which ones to sell to finance it. He has: 3 early 50’ pre 64 Winchesters with custom stocks. The stocks are more art than practical that his grandfather made. He will be keeping those and selling barreled actions. 1. 270 Gibbs 2. 30 Gibbs 3. 300 H&H ( considering finding a used original stock to sell with) And he also has a Husquavra 240 Gibbs that we don’t know much about. His grandfather was quite the hunter and actually used one of the Gibbs to take the Wyoming state record elk back in the 60’s. So this build is going to as much of a sentimental build as practical. Using the 280AI and Win Action keeps his Grandfather’s wildcat feeling going but allows the gun to be fit for the Grandsons needs. Thanks Tony [/QUOTE]
