Anybody?

Get in line. Been looking for a loooong time. Had to "settle" for a lefty Kimber action and put on a Douglas premium barrel....punched out to .223 AI of course. Haven't seen the rifle in months though, Sheister is working his magic and making a gorgeous wood stock for her to ride in, hopefully I'll have a picture soon

Guess I didn't realize how hard it is.

Oh well, I have time, and I'm in line.

No Savages. I have McMillans for 700s already in the bag. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well just bite the bullet and go to Wally World and buy a new one. That's what I ended up doing to get the action to build my Grandson a .260 or 7mm-08. haven't decided yet but I have a barrel in each flavor just in case.
$540 plus tax here. I'll sell the barrel and stock when I get around to having them replaced and recoop some of that. He's just 3 1/2 so I have a while.

I forgot to add that it is a 700 BDL in .243 so I may just change the stock for the time being and shoot it as is.
