Indy. Years ago as newly wed I was broke as Job's turkey. I bought a western àuto Revelation 30-06 bolt for $90. ( it was a rebadged savage 110.). The crummy beech stock was warped and was pressing against the barrel so I hogged out the barrel channel with a wood rasp and used a couple l of shims cut from a cool whip container under the action to free float the barrel.
I got a bunch of 110 rn Hornady bullets for cheap and as is often the case that ugly looking son of a gun would print them in your thumb nail at 100 yds. This was before ebay and the ability to find replacement stocks for cheap so I eventually sold the rifle for about what I had in it but out of the dozens of rifles I have traded for over the years it has to be in the top 3-4 shooters. Go figure.
