Winchester 100
Thanks for the replies, I am going to try to make a shooting rifle out of this Model 100, as the 308 caliber is good for game in this area, elk, deer, and bear. I have tried several other bolt actions in heavier rifles but the recoil is still painful. Until you have your chest split, and heart repaired it is hard to describe what it feels like to have any kind of recoil in your shoulder area.
I have found some parts on ebay where I am a member so I pretty much have the metal parts in order. The stock is still an issue as it is split from the pistol grip left side and then thru the forearm on the right side, actually in two pieces. I amworking now on a very careful cleanin and a reglue with clamping and small brad nails. If I can get it structually sound, I will finish it with flat black paint and and a clear overcoat, makes a stock look synthetic. I have had success doing this with other guns I work on. Anyway have a great year. Jerry in Idaho
