Hello.
I'm always thinking about what's next with this stuff and I have a stainless savage long action in the safe with a 18" heavy .308 barrel on it at the moment. I've always kinda wanted a .35 Whelen, so it's a good candidate for the swap. Where could I find one in Canada? Preferable if it's not more expensive that just finding a .35 Whelen rifle. I have a Savage nut friend who swaps his own barrels who offered to help with that part. He shoots F-class TR I think.
Also, would it be possible to bore out and re-rifle this one. Maybe turn it down a contour or two for weight?
Thanks, I'll keep looking.
