Just purchased a used Ruger #1 in 30-06. Never was too thrilled with the 06, but figured I really wanted to put that #1 in the shop and tinker. Thinking it might make a really nice Whelen after a visit to JES.
Going to try it in '06 for now to see how she does- a rebore is cheaper than a new barrel, but it's only money, right? Spend it now while it's still worth something, for I'm expecting some serious inflation is right around the corner. Come to think of it, I think the big inflation of 2011 has already started.
I need to stop this kind of thinking- my head hurts a bit-
Our current administration sure has helped the firearms and ammunition industry sales set new records!
