Hello,
I'm looking for an action for a 6.5 X 284 hunting build up. I don't want to go the custom action route so I'm looking for the least expensive action that I can get. I'm thinking of either a Rem 700 or Win 70. I'd buy the whole rifle and ditch the parts I don't need if that works out cheaper, just wondering where you all start looking.
I've stopped by my local gun shop to see what they have but they only want to deal with nicer guns. Any deals on-line?
This will be my first build up but I have an excellent gunsmith that is local and will help with the build up. His name is Ray Simard and he's been shooting longer than I've been alive and is still better than I will hope to be, plus he's an old yankee so he only spends the money on things that will gain accuracy.
Any place to start will be appreciated.
Thanks
