[QUOTE="reubenski, post: 1732414, member: 36515"] I've bought a donor rifle for $400, sold the stock, BM, and mag for about $100. Walked away with a $300 action and trigger. My Smith opened up the bolt face to a magnum and soldiered fora small tab under the extractor to give it some more stand off for $100. I bought a Carbon Six barrel and rented a reamer from Rich Sherman. It turned out great. Nailed an antelope at 600yds with it two weeks ago. 147 ELDM at 3000 fps. Because this was successful I bought another Tikka in 270 and took the bolt out. Sold the remainder of the rifle for $200 in about 18 hours. Now I have a standard bolt face to go with it. I ordered a 22 BR barrel from McGowen. These are shouldered and chambered prefits. Cerakoted with muzzle threads it cost about $450. During the off season I'll screw the 22 BR barrel on and shoot 88 ELDMs [/QUOTE]
