I picked up this single shot a few years ago. I do not know the make of the action, but it is a Shelhamer stock. When I bought it it had been poorly rechambered to 5.6x50. I Suspect it was originally a 22-3000 and was rechambered by the seller to try and make it easier to sell as it had not been fired since rechambering until I fired it. The bore is rather pitted, and as I said, the rechamber job is very poorly done. The buttstock is a very good piece of wood and in very good condition, the forend has some dents, mostly in the checkered area, so I think they could be repaired and hidden quite easily.
What I think it needs is a new barrel in either 22-3000, or .22 Hornet, and the whole thing correctly polished and rust blued. I am leaning towards the Hornet. As much as I like the 22-3000, I just don't have faith that we will ever see brass for it.
What do you all think? And who to do it?
