Could be savage 99, or bolt or single shot
No featherweights. Needs to be fairly stout barrel to rebore to .358
Bolt guns should be short action
Looking for moderate priced donor. Condition not crucial. Putting in the barrel ok if not too deep

Ok. By moderate price I don't mean $1,000 plus. Not even close to that
I appreciate the offers, but...

Faster and less goes wrong buying a finished rifle. Here is a list at one site: [img] http://www.gunbroker.com/Firearms/BI.aspx?Keywords=358[/img] There was a .358 BLR there for $355 when I posted this.

These are some of the least expensive donors that I currently know of:
CDNN has Marlin XS7s in either 243 or 7mm08 for $270/$280.
CDNN also has Ruger American rifles in 308 for $299.
Whittaker's has Howa 1500s in either 243 or 7mm08 for $330.
Wal-Mart has 700 ADL youth guns in 243 for $380.

I have a 783 Remington I'd sell reasonably cheap. Less than 20 rounds down the barrel.
But you can buy the same at Walmart.
I prefer classic.

I'd also agree. If you're not tied to a certain action, I'd recommend something that you can get a pre-fit barrel for and call it a day.

Not looking for opinions. Looking for a donor
