Yeah, I love the idea of doing a Kimber action for a custom, but I can't stomach dropping $800 or $900 on an action yet. My two Remingtons were brand new at $300 each as 700 ADLs from WalMart. But if you want to step up in features and weight there's the Montanas, and you're still nowhere near what it would take to cannibalize a Kimber. Price you pay though, as folks do Dakotas, heavily 'smithed Mausers and Tis all the time. Maybe one of the these days...
Mean time, I better get started on this year's project before summer shooting season and elk season rolls around again.
