[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 630055, member: 505"] I just always check the used gun racks everywhere I go and negotiate. The blued ones I have got many good deals on. Never got a deal on a stainless. Will do better their going for a custom action. The triggers are good on the old mk 5's. Any magnum mk 5 will do except the 240. You will need to open the bolt face on all but the 378 based bolts. No problem because they are all the same action and designed for that. A 378 wby based magazine box if it doesn't have one. The 257, 270 and 7mm wby's must have a slot cut in the bottom of the bolt to allow for bolt travel with the longer round. They make excellent builds. I have quite a few. Also feeds the RUM's better than any standard action. The best 338-300 RUM's I did were off the wby mk 5 actions. Just screw in the barrel and go. Feeds perfect and the mag length is good. Broz's lapua is on a Mk 5 and he likes it. I have done a few but do not own a mk 5 lapua. mine lapuas are on Sakos. Easy to do though and by far the best action for it other than a custom. [/QUOTE]
