[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1127700, member: 12995"] I would convert your rifle to a BDL bottom metal setup, instead of the DBM setup. I don't care for DBM's on deer rifles (personal preference), they rattle-around and seem unstable to me...What happens if it gets bumped and drops-out when you're walking through the woods and you never notice it until you get all the way to your stand? Your SPS would be a great donor-action to start your build off of. All you need to convert it to a BDL setup is one of these...

Also, if you had the bolt body jeweled it will retain a thin layer of gun oil, which will help to quiet the bolt down some.
