I have narrowed it down to three options A) Cooper, B) find a action and do a build with a McMillan stock (ugh I hate synthetic stocks but I love nice wood but at this moment price is a consideration) C) Look for a rifle to rebarrel most likely a Remington or Ruger and reshape the stock as needed.
A full Manlicher stocked rifler is on my to do list but it will most likely be in 6.5X55
