The spring Rock Chuck gala is supposed to be on again this year. I was planning to send you a heads up but I din't want to say anything until I was sure my young protege (slacker) down in Nevadaland wasn't going to back out again.
We're talking early June,,,, maybe you can meet us up in Yellow Pine if things come together. I'll let you know.

Yep,,, that's her.

It really wasn't that much trouble or expense but I'm fortunate enough to have a smith that knows his trade and doesn't bend you over for a simple task.
Cost me $379 for the rifle,, + $175 to set it back, rechamber and clean up the action,, + another $135 for the stock with checkering. I had a good Walker trigger on hand so I sold the trigger, stock, and BDL bottom metal (I prefer blind magazine) for about $185 IIRC.
My smith even threw in a new crown. Said it was SOP.

Definitely worth the effort.
