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
If you have a spare $5,300 sitting around, there is a kickass Dakota mannlicher in 6.5x55 on the Williams site.
If not, the non-cataloged stainless Ruger 77 RSIs that Lipsey's had made up a year or two ago aren't bad, nor are the mannlicher stocked Husqvarna HVAs, The problem is finding them, since once people get one they seldom let it go of them.
