He likes the phone, not email.. Probably have to leave a message and he will call you back when he is not in the shop.../ I was lucky because he is only a 40 minute drive for me..
Well, that makes it easy! I like the phone, too!

Cool, that's interesting.Do anything else to it ?I rebarreled an 88 in 22-250 Ackly Improved for my dad about 10 years ago using a Pac_Nor blank.

That's funny!
Of the 5 I've owned in the past, two of them split the stock. I'm not sure they were meant to be serious, long string shooters. My dad hand whittled a stock for his, out of Walnut(!!!) and full length bedded it. He also took all the creep out of the trigger, which helped a TON!
Your gun do what you want. You asked.....you are out of your flippen mind to alter one single thing on it.Just ordered a Lilja barrel in.243, 8t, 27in finish length, #4 contour.
Was thinking plain ole vanilla 243 Win, but may opt for AI. Or , maybe open the bolt face up for a ... Some thing else?
I love these lever guns. This one makes my fifth one I've acquired. I have another, that will remain as is till end of time, but this one is to enjoy.
Drawback is, magazine length limited, so I can't stray TOO far from design.
What say you all?

My first center fire rifle also. When I went to college. Mine was very accurate. Stock was short and I ended up with the thumb of my shooting hand right under my nose and would get punched in the nose everytime I shot. Trigger was horrible. However, those two things didn't seem to bother me because it was my first hunting rifle and I didn't know any better. And when I was younger I made some great shots on running whitetails. Then I got my first Ruger M77. And wow what a difference. A stock that fit and a decent trigger. I didn't know how much I had been missing. I let my brother use it and he broke it in half right at the wrist. I found a company that made the stock and ordered one. They sent me a stock with a huge blemish on it. I couldn't believe someone would even something like that out to a customer. The barreled action is just sitting in storage for the past 30 years.The stocks leave a bit to desire. And…..the trigger certainly wasn't great. For many years it was my only centerfire rifle. I put a trigger shoe on it, which helped make the trigger feel a bit lighter…..just learned to accept the trigger creep! memtb
