[QUOTE="droptine, post: 2258774, member: 1258"] I like all kind of actions but commercial mauers are one of my weaknesses. I would build a 338/06 or A-Square as some call it. My second choice would be a 280. I screw SS Shilen barrel, skip blueing and be done with it. Drop it in a cheap Hogue stock. Would make a really good beater truck gun. I kinda did the same a while back. I bought a stripped down Mark X barrel action for cheap. Looking at the bolt face not sure it has every been fired. Best I can tell per the contour had a Douglas screwed on. Which may not have ever been fired. Had Timney send me a trigger. I did my cheap but works gun coating (self etching primer and Epoxy spray paint). Dropped it in a O.D. green Hogue stock. Waiting on a follower and spring to come in tomorrow. Have a Burris E1 scope I bought on sale at Cabelas on close out a while back to mount soon as my rings come in. Should make me another good beater truck gun. Can't have to many beaters that shoot good. Be interesting to see how it will shoot. [/QUOTE]
