Just picked up a older Savage 243win Hvy 26" bbl single shot action rifle. The stock is solid wood and much thicker than other Savage rifles I've handled from that era and has what looks like original pachymar recoil pad. Bought it for almost nothing the finish is rough but the bolt is smooth as butter and the bore looks nice once I cleaned it up. Was going to restock and rebarrell to 6.5x47L but since this is and will always be a single shot is there any reason I can't go with a LA cartridge. It has plenty of room to clear empties. I know the bolt head will need swapped out but that's not hard on a Savage.
