Look at 45-70 with some heavy bullets.
Not hub but I'll offer $300.00 to haul off the scrap.well hub, how much are you offerin?
The accuracy guarantee means exactly nothing.

I was really joking...but I believe the idea to rebarrel is a good one (.280Rem. ), but I can understand you wanting to cut your expenses and ditch the rifle. I would start by just making sure that the bore is clean and shiny, then ensuring that the stock doesn't touch or get too close to the bbl (because it will touch when heated if too close), that way you KNOW that it is the bbl and not fouling, or the stock (the most likely culprits). I think that any decent gunshop will offer you a straight trade, but little (if any) more.well maverick my local gunshop can offer me a trade for a marlin xl7 which would be $300 so if i go that low, itll be on a trade lol.
Of course... hence the following sentence: "Honestly, I too would prefer something a little larger for a dedicated Moose hunt...but with proper shot placement a .300WSM will do as good as a 105x608mm...".I hope you were being funny with the prior remark.
Just seems that long...eh?45-70. Been doin the job all over the world for the better part of 3 centuries now.
The only problem with that is the somewhat obscure cartridge. As good as it is, the .280Rem. is better because you can get brass and/or loaded ammunition.If price is no object, I would seriously consider an Ultralight Arms rifle in .284 Winchester.
