[QUOTE="Craveman85, post: 1676880, member: 96079"] If it were me I'd buy a used long action 700 with the proper bolt face for the cartridge you choose and have it rebarreled. I paid 300$ for my 243 years ago and after I wore out the barrel I had Hart rifle barrels in Lafayette NY put a 26" varmint contour 260 rem barrel on it for about 700$. Then you could just buy whatever stock you want and upgrade the trigger maybe. A Remington timney is about $120. Could get a b&c stock for under 300. Then just rings, a base, and a scope. Luckily my favorite stock is the factory vls one so I picked up one of those for less than $100 Oh if buying a used rifle to start you don't need to look for a mag well and bottom metal [/QUOTE]
