Tough to reconcile the "donate" term in my mind while viewing a Hagn as one of your sample actions (acknowledging that the cut-away version is of reduced appeal). I've had a long yearning for a functional version but chose to spend toward hunting trips instead.
Are you interested in a new-in-box Miller Falling Block I've had in the safe for over a decade?
Always a consideration. I wrote the donation piece about people who were offering a complete rifle, stated I'm looking for a receiver so "I" can build a rifle from it.
The cutaway is just a picture along with the other to show the styles of receivers.
Love my falling and rolling blocks! Something special about smacking steel at a half mile with open ladder sights and a 400+ grain projectile you made
. I just seen a rolling block action for sale the Other day. I'll see if I can hunt it up.

Yes sir, I understand the reference was to complete rifles; just couldn't resist an attempt at sarcastic humor. No offense intended. I do have a real soft spot for the Hagn, though. When I bought the Miller it was partly in hopes of staving off the hankering for a Hagn. Miller was in N Dakota & Frank DeHaas (sp?) wrote about his actions being top notch. Good luck in the endeavor.
I love old guns for the biggest part, to me the quality is there more than today from big manufactures. Wood Stocks, not plastic crap. I also like the idea of putting things together and making it unique, like a trap door receiver and turn it into a .22 Creedmoor (If I can, things like that, making a new stock and doing my own checkering pattern. I don't want the same Ole, same Ole.
