Bob:

From what I see in the pictures only the action has real value, and unfortunately it appears to have been abused by a buffing wheel. By all means do what you want with it. Or sell it to me...Personally, I would recommend the later.

It would make a fine Creedmoor rifle, but not necessarily an authentic one. I don't think any W-R '97s were made in target configuration. The long range matches were pretty much over before its introduction, at least for the large bore single shots. None the less it is a way cool action and would make an interesting and unique rifle. The action would be legal in both NRA and World sanctioned matches.

Best,

Glenn


There is no sacrifice too great for someone else to make.
