[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 466109, member: 24624"] Without a lathe or a smith, you need to strongly consider a Savage. Look at this thread... [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/savage-12-f-class-rebarrel-67041/[/URL] I'm going through something similar and also wanting to buy a lathe at some point. But, Savage is the only way to go if you want to do it all yourself. Also, you can buy just the action from Savage. One aspect of the Savage that I don't hear much is that you're not removing any metal. So, if you get off a little, or don't like the results, just start again. Once you remove metal from a 700 or other action, it's near impossible to put it back like it was. So, measure 3 times and cut once. Of course, you can go with TC Encore or Blaser and pretend that you're rebarelling, etc... But, that's no fun. Good luck! Richard [/QUOTE]
