Thanks...guess I'll pass.
Was thinking I could get it done for around a grand give or take plus the smith work. $250 for rifle, $300 for new stock, $150 for a trigger, $300 for a barrel and whatever for the smith work. Unless my numbers are way off. Which they very well could be.
Keep my eyes open for a cheap 700.
What's a good round off that 30-06? Just want something slightly different, maybe not for you all in this forum but for me and guys I shoot with. And not necessarily off a 30-06.
I'd start with the following:
What do I intend to do with the rifle - quarry I'll be chasing etc.?
How much do I plan on shooting it?
Lastly, you should probably land on whether you're going to use a 30.06 based action or not - it'll help narrow chambering options.
Twer it me dipping a toe into my first custom foray, I'd not do it in "something different", I'd do it in a chambering that's something I like already and one I'm familiar.
