It is starting to look like a .300 Sherwood isn't it ? Last edited by postoak; 10/22/12 01:04 AM. Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

My first step would be to locate a loaded .300 and try that first before I bought anything else. http://home.comcast.net/~rds615/300S/300S.html MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014

Look at this description from Christe's Acution house - if it is correct .300 Special and .300 Sherwood may be the same ? The Rifle described matches mine. My serial number is aproximately 5700 lower. http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=272561 Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
