[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 130009, member: 12"] why not save the money for the action and smithing to jury rig an action that at the end of the day is questionable at best? Buy a Lawton 8500 action that is 1.650" in diameter with .750 bolt and put in any caliber you want. Cost is $795 and ready to go with no smithing. He also has a 7500 action that is 1.450 in single shot or repeater and it is $695. When you are done it will be cheaper, stronger, more accurate (as the action is stiffer) and worth more when you are done. Your gunsmith will lose about $300-400 on mods to the Rem but you will be happier. BH [/QUOTE]
