So took it to a gunsmith to make sure it passes the headspace (it does). He looked at the barrel and said it looks like a Douglas. His opinion was the metal work/action barrel etc was done by a gunsmith and the attempt at bedding was bubba. Oh and discovered it has some sort of aftermarket trigger cause it is a 2 stage. He said if I would have brought him the action and got him to replace the barrel, shroud, trigger, do the bolt etc, it would have cost me 700-800 bucks (assuming it is a Douglas). He recommended I drop it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I would have a fine big game rifle. Makes my 475 that I spent seem even better!
Leave it in the woods stock. It is a good looking rifle. Just needs a little fine tuning. I think you did very well on the deal.
