Idahoguy101, Cheap meaning I will pay a reasonable price. I am in need of an action for a .416 Rem I am going to build. I have a lothar walthar barrel and a nice stick of wood..so whatcha got, thats always a good place to start. I really want an FN or commercial Mauser as their is much less work required, but if someone has a tricked up Mauser already got go, then I don't mind paying for it.
Ray- I have squirreled away a couple of FNs on Higgins M50 rifles. I wanted to turn one into a Whelen one of these days but might be able to turn loose of one. I don't know whether this would work for you given length of the 416 you talked about, Bruce
Bought two, so not in the market anymore..but if you want to email my address below with what you have then I will put it on file as I am always looking for good actions.
