[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 249340, member: 8"] The action will need to be squared up just like any other action or perhaps even more so. If you don't square up the action or at least let a gunsmith look at it you may waste your money by just screwing on a barrel. Mine was only making 15% lug contact before it was squared up. It will need a good trigger and to be bedded properly. You may find an issue with the top of the receiver not being level. It will need a good stock. I have an old FN that is chambered in 240 Wby and it is consistently under 0.5 MOA and usually down around 0.3 MOA and has made a lot of kills on antelope out to 1140 yards. In the end, the only way you save any money is if you already have the action in your cabinet. Sorry about the bad news but I just do not believe it is cheap. [/QUOTE]
