[QUOTE="the shotty, post: 977979, member: 27217"] 7 mag donor would be a great start. Stager feed is a lot easier to find stocks for and some stock makers won't inlet for the center feed because it takes up too much space and can make the stock flimsy (stockade). As for stock it depends on what style you want. I prefer shooting prone and like the tactical style personally. Some brands to check out are: stockade- makes a very good stock, multiple styles and has different finish options making it a cheap alternative if your OK doing some work. expect about a years wait time. bell and Carlson: OK but definatly on the cheap end, no tactical style stock for a long action. Choate: decent stocks, good prices, tend to be heavy. Manners: awesome stocks! More of a tactical style some you have to wait for, they have a pretty decent selection ready to ship price is $450+ . Mcmillan: again exelent stocks, 6-12 month wait time and $700+. Other options would be a savage take off stock, you may look for one from a fcp models which have the hs-precision stocks or one of the LRH models which is a more traditional style but with adjustable cheak rest. I've seen both these options go for under $200. As to your question about the actions, yes northland shooter supply is an online retailer that specializes in savage and you would need to have it shipped to an ffl. As to the bolt- that doesn't look bad but if you don't like it you can order new bolt handles from a number of places for $30-80 for a custom one otherwise I see them on eBay for pretty cheap.
