[QUOTE="nuance231, post: 835732, member: 17108"] I have a couple of Stevens action based rifles. One is a long action I bought from Jim Briggs, that I have 6.5x55, 7mm and 300mag barrels for, the short action was a .308 rifle I bought that usually sports a .223 barrel. With the exception of the .308, all barrels were bought used. They are exactly as accurate as I am. Timney Triggers were purchased from Brownells for both actions, easy retrofit, crisp, appears to be about the same as the Rifle Basix trigger. Boltheads/parts for the magnum and .223 were purchased from Midway. Boyds laminate stocks were used for both these centerfeed (mag box attached to the stock) actions. Stiff stock, actions fit nicely, needed to do a little sanding to fit the thicker Shilen 6.5x55 barrel. I started this little rifle building hobby with no previous experience. The Article "Long Range Rifle On A Budget" on this site started the ball rolling. Strongly encourage visiting SavageShooters.com for all the info/links needed to do the work on these rifles. [/QUOTE]
