There is currently very little wild hog hunting in Tennessee. Read this for more information. Those 10 "additional designees" spots fill up fast on most farms that have hog problems.

That is a long out of production gun from the previous generations of Benelli. Maybe Benelli knows of someone with the knowledge necessary. It would be like calling Walther for service for your P-38. I've never even seen one in person but always like the lines of it. Magazines are hard to come...
There are a lot of people having problems with powerbelts. I'd try a different bullet and see how that goes. I seriously doubt all 3 guns developed bad bores at the same time.
Scrub it out real good. Have you changed bullets or powder? Are you using real black powder or some substitute? Is there a chance your powder has degraded?
This! If their person thinks that is acceptable then they don't have a gunsmith. Look at that facsimile compound I linked to. It's some kind of polymer that you don't have to melt.
The .338 magnum case that is the parent case to the 8mm/.338 wildcat cartridge mentioned above is a belted magnum case meaning there is an extra reinforcement of the case head that results in a belt around the head of the case. See the picture below. That belt results in a step being cut into...
I think those grips and that engraving enhance the gun both monetarily and in class. One option you might consider is to rebarrel it to shooting condition. Keep the original barrel, and put $10 or $20 back in a jar or something every payday. You'll have enough to have the engraving replicated...
That gun can be fixed but you may not want to pay bill on it. It comes down to the money in cases like this. Hamilton Bowen has the gunsmithing and engraving skills needed to install a new barrel and recreate the engraving on it. While he is heavily into the Ruger revolvers he occasionally will...
See if an empty 30-06 brass will chamber if you don't have a dummy round and don't want to chamber a live round.
30-06 will chamber in an 8mm-06 chamber.
8mm mauser will chamber in an 8mm-06 chamber.
30-06 will not chamber in an 8mm mauser chamber.
If 30-06 will not chamber then there's a high...
That is a nice old sporter, I like the lines of it. Simple, functional, rugged.
I'd guess about $20-$25 for a gunsmith to to the chamber cast.
The shops said 8mm Mauser will cycle, see if a 30-06 will cycle.
Do you know a good local gunsmith?
So a chamber casting with cerrosafe-https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/barrel-tools/barrel-chamfering-accessories/cerrosafe-chamber-casting-alloy-prod384.aspx
sulphur- from the drug store, will work the same as cerrosafe
or facsimile compound follow the directions on this...
Rit black dye will do it. Here's the first video that popped up on it. He's doing mags but that will work for your stock. Just clean and degrease it well before you dunk it.
