Looking for a donor action for a new build. Let me know if you have one you can part with. Long or short doesn’t matter.

Thanks.

These have become real scarce! They sell now for more than I paid in ‘20 for a PT&G trued action! Unreal!

Yeah I figured it would be a long shot or the price would be way to high.

Donor as in to be used to build something else. Usually when someone buys a complete rifle but only want the action for another project they’ll refer to it as a “donor” rifle

I wouldn't dream of not using one of the many clones out there. I think its crazy to build on a 700 anymore. when you can get a custom action for $800. defiance machine would be my choice.

Defiance is a bit more but it comes with rings or a scope rail. The net cost would be like 850 ish if you consider that. Not having to true the action makes it even a better deal.
