Ok. Sometime back I posted that when I cleaned up dads shop last
year, I found 5 M98/clone actions. Two still bearing Waffen proof
marks. One Turkish small ring, one Czech made BRNO Vz24 and one with
all makers marks polished off. I posted a couple of ideas about
calibers etc to a hand loading forum I visit and left it there.
So a couple months ago my 16 y/o daughter says she wants to go with me
and shoot prairie dogs next year. I asked her repeatedly on different
days just to make sure she was committed. She affirmed her request
several times. So I dig through all the parts and pieces. There is
one complete .30-06 and all it needs is a stock. That one is out. I
find another heavy barrel looks like the barrel is shot out, and the
action is in good shape. The trigger guard and bottom metal need some
TLC. In my stash of parts I found a new in package M98 Timney trigger.
So I think we are ready to send off for a new .22-250 barrel.
Haven't decided what kind of stock. She likes thumbhole stocks, so I'm sure it will be a crazy color thumbhole. :-)
