[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 96388, member: 12"] Tim I would recommend forgeting a donor action and look at the new custom actions that are less than a donor with the mods needed. See the recent thread on "truing actions". Stiller Predator or Jim Borden actions for WSMs or RUMs are $600 now. No mods needed. Add trigger and bottom metal Buy used Rem trigger and used Rem bottom metal. $150 max Trigger job $40 New custom trigger from $75-140 HS Precision bottom metal new is $200 Cost should be under $750 for custom action with used trigger and bottom metal and under $900 for all new. $150 to chamber your barrel stock and bedding. $300-600 That leaves a lot of money for a scope. More importantly with custom action, it should only take most smiths, 2-3 months to put it all together as we are talking a chamber job, and stock bedding in reality. BH [/QUOTE]
