I have been asked to build a Winchester 6.5 0n a Classic action for a friends son. There are NO factory rifles available in that caliber.
He will be paying for everything, but because we can't find a new one in 6.5 Swede, I'm thinking of getting a new one in another caliber, selling the barrel, having custom one installed and getting the action trued up at the same time.
1. Can the classic action and custom barrel be made to shoot 1/4" inch or better hopefully at 100yd ?
I have never owned anything but Remington rifles, and a Custom 1909 Argentine I built. Not counting rifles I bought and sold for profit.
I know nothing about Winchester actions whatsoever. I once had a 375 Super Grade but sold that within several weeks.
I tried to talk the dad into a Remington but the young man wants a Winchester!
