[QUOTE="JackRabbitSquare, post: 53623, member: 635"] BountyHunter, I figured the cost as $500 for the barreled action, $250 for the stock, and whatever the cost of a barrel block is. I am not sure on the cost of a block but I figured a glue-in type it couldn’t be that bad and a split type shouldn’t be too much over $250. As for the stock Elk Ridge is here in Oregon so I could run down there and explain what I want and have a unfinished drop-in with extra wood and the barrel channel cut for approx $250, not including the cost for a barrel block cut out. As for the dies I hadn’t really thought about that. I didn’t think that 06AI dies would be a problem but it looks like Redding only has 6.5-06. I will look into the 6.5-284, but I like the 06 and I have lots of brass for it, so maybe just a 6.5-06 and some Redding competition dies?? As to the quality of the brass it looks like Norma and Lapua both have 06 brass and I though Winchester brass was supposed to be decent. This is all theory right now as the money for a project just isn’t here, hopefully in a couple of months. Mostly I am just trying to figure out if the Ruger action is worth building the gun on or if I should be keeping my eyes open for a different action.
