I own quite a few remington bolt actions but none are as solid as this one. The mauser action is very very solid on this gun

M1917 Enfield, one of the guesses originally. The dogleg bolt and the rocker safety are unmistakable. The action also cocks on the closing stroke, unlike the M98 mauser and the 1903, which cock when the bolt is opened.
M1917s are hell-for-stout actions, many have been converted in the past to magnum calibers with no problem.

is this a quality rifle for it's age? I am planning on redoing the stock, Rebluing the metal and putting a good scope on it. I was thinking it is probably only worth about 100$ the way it is.. not sure though

also, Is there an adjustment for the trigger on these rifles? This one seems like it has alot of pull before going off. Can I get a replacement trigger for it?

Hard to tell what kind of condition this old 1917 Enfield is in from a picture. Have a gunsmith check the headspace. Timney makes a good trigger for these that you should be able to get installed for a reasonable price. Might have the 'smith convert it to cock-on-opening as well. Roskoe

Assuming it has the original military trigger, you are feeling the two stage military pull. You can get used to it, which isn't that hard, or have it replaced. Timney and Dayton Traister make aftermarket triggers for the Enfield, and there are probably some others as well.
I like the cock on close feature, every bit of the force used to open the bolt goes into primary extraction. You aren't forcing back the cocking piece as well.
Enfields do have a fairly slow lock time, especially compared to modern designs. A stronger striker spring will help some.
I believe the Enfield is a better bolt action rifle than the 1903 Springfield.
Yes, it was a quality rifle when built, but we can't see what the years have done. I would have a gunsmith check it out, if you don't have the knowledge and experience yourself. I've checked quite a few Eddystone manufactured 1917 Enfields, and most will close on a no-go headspace gauge. If they don't close on a field gauge, I've never had an issue with that. If you don't handload, one firing isn't going to stretch your brass enough to have a head seperation or similar bad thing. If you DO handload, it is no problem to adjust your dies to the longer chamber so your brass life wil be decent.
Never gauged a Remington built 1917, so I can't tell you what to possibly expect.

How about a 35 Whelen. Same exact case as the 30.06 with a .358 cal bullet. Plus there is factory ammo available. 338.06 is also an option but I do not know of factory ammo for this one.

already have a rem 700 35 whelen classic... great gun but I want a magnum...

how far are the 35 whelens good for? I am ashamed to say this but I shot at a nice buck this season with it at about 120 yards and missed...
