My father bought me a Ruger Express 270 WCF that from what he says is in great shape.
We are returning to the United States after many years of living in Europe and Australia.
He buys a lot of guns from widows from church, and normally doesn't look at them much or haggle. If the price is fair, he pays them and moves down the road. This was part of a huge collection, and he asked me what I'd like out of it. So along with some other items, this one came up as interesting.
First off how much steel do I need around the bore for a rebore. I have no interest in another 270, I have other nice ones and this one deserves to be something truly safari capable.
I am leaning towards the 318, but I think the barrel would have to be set back.
Is the Ruger standard length receiver long enough for a 350 Rigby?
What about the 333 Geoffries?
