Santa Fe model 1944 barrel change opinions wanted
Came across a Santa Fe model 1944 (enfield design) barrel isbtoast but receiver is usable I believe its chambered in 303 brit what round would you chamber it in and why ?
Really? No help at all
>303,30-40 Krag, 444 Marlin are some choices. Check the rim/bolt face diameter first though.....
How about a rebore?35-303 or 375-303. The Common Wealthcountries did to the 303 all we have done to the 30-06. Necked it up and down to suit their needs.
375-303 should drive a boolit 2000+fps. Not much needs more killing than that........

Barrel is trashed has to be replaced. I am thinking synthetic stock pillar bedding bipod turning it into a hunting rifle
