[QUOTE="waspocrew, post: 1064011, member: 78732"] I went with Dallas Lane of Lane Precision Rifles. I was pretty impressed by his work and he has a great reputation for building excellent rifles. I found the ADL on a local Facebook classifieds group in SE Idaho. If you're looking for a short action ADL, Dick's sports usually has them on sale during holiday events. My guess is a Memorial Day sale in a couple months. Good luck with the search! Here's the rifle when I bought it: [ATTACH]45864.vB[/ATTACH] Greybull added a couple new colors for their stocks. I went with the dark grey stock: [ATTACH]45866.vB[/ATTACH] Dropped it into the stock to see the fit: [ATTACH]45865.vB[/ATTACH] All in all, it shouldn't be too bad. I'm having the action trued, barrel chambered and installed, barrel bead-blasted to a matte finish, recessed crown on barrel, and bedding the stock. I may flute the barrel to reduce a bit of the weight. I think I'll end up looking at a pretty nice rifle for about $1700-1850 all said and done. It's a bit better than what a Stiller action and Manners stock were going to set me back! PS - I had a Tikka 270 WSM and it flat out shot. They are great rifles for the money and I don't think you could go wrong going that route. I definitely see your concern about the 20" barrel though... I'd want at least a 24", but 26" would be ideal. [/QUOTE]
