The not as expensive route to a nice custom rifle: Zastava Mauser action from Numrich, $200; fancy walnut stock from Elk Ridge (only place that makes one to fit the Zastava... same as Charles Daly), $200; Pac-Nor pre-fit barrel, $300. Trigger on the Zastava is pretty good already, no fussing with fixing the safety, etc.

With that action, you'll probably not want to do a magnum.

That will get you a nice, accurate custom rifle that doesn't cost too much more than just buying a finished rifle.


Be not weary in well doing.
