[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1373421, member: 101755"] WOW! Looks like i really bought a turd in this one...I sold the scope and rings as I walked out the door so I doubt I can return it. So I guess I will go forward with a build off this action. So here is the plan... I know a guy who inherited a gun shop from a friend, he has offered me some muzzle breaks and other stuff in the past so he might like a chance to do this to see how it turns out. So the first thing is to cut back the front of the receiver so it will take a normal recoil lug. New trigger for sure as this one has a ton creep and must be around a 5lb pull. I have a old Savage barrel that I can try to fit. I think E A Brown laps the threads, at least that is the way the guy made it sound. They only charge $30 to fit the barrel to the Axis receiver so it can't take much work. Sharp Shooter stock and CDI bottom metal which would be needed with a 110 action. In summary I will need to do about the same things as you would a 110 action with the exception no composite stock and the machine work. I found a chassis from MDI, but I'm not big on chassis. I will start a thread when I start this project...win or lose! [/QUOTE]
