[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2374345, member: 116439"] Yep - Prices on used rifles have doubled in the last ten years. If the rifle is in "Good" condition, why turn it into a "Donor" for the Action? I would not buy a "Good Condition Rifle" just to take apart for the action (unless it was a Defiance, Impaction Action already on it and buying for $6-700). If I got a used 700 action I would take it apart, make sure the firing pin, spring, ejector was very good or then replace and also True up the lugs and bolt face. Unless you are doing the work on the Action yourself (not paying a gunsmith) and getting the Action for a really good price, it would be better getting a Kelby, Curtis, Defiance, ect to use as a foundation for your build.
