[QUOTE="Broz, post: 647979, member: 7503"] It seems he is doing it right and enjoying the success that comes with good equipment. Sure there are cheaper routes to get there but this reminds me of the old saying when we were racing. " Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?" I say do it right the first time and only cry once. Now that said I did build my 338 LM off a Mark V stainless action. I have over $4000 in that rifle alone. Then a $150 rail base, $150 for rings, $150 for a ring mounted level and $100 for the angle indicator. Now add the $1800 for the zero stop NihtForce scope and that is where I ended up. The good news is the rifle shoots 1/2 moa still after 1500 rounds. If I were to give you the best advice I can it would be the same as his smith gave you. Reason is by the time you do any machining on te Mark V to true it up, and figure what you can get for your rifles hole, you will loose money over what you can buy a custom action for. Jeff [/QUOTE]
