So it got me to thinking about building a custom bolt action thats exactly what I want. Rugers are too rough of an action for me, Cz doesnt have many options and thinks like their scope rings kinda suck as well as stock options. Howa is just there. So if a fella could get a savage chambered in 6mm arc it could be rebarreled to 6mm Grendel without much hassle. But mainly what Im thinking of building is this.
Bighorn origin action because of the interchangeable bolt faces and they take savage style prefits.
Barrel I was thinking about a spiral fluted stainless from x caliber because they are one of the the few people that make prefit barrels that has a 6.5 reamer and will do it according to the website
If possible Id really like a hinged floor plate
And some kind of traditional style stock instead of a chassis, maybe a nicer wood one if I could find it otherwise just a nice fiberglass or carbon fiber stock.
Has anybody built anything close? Any recommendations? Or just tell me what you built and why, maybe you thought of something I didnt
What are you willing to spend? Do you want a lightweight hunting rifle or prissy range queen?
The CZ 527 has been discontinued.
You dont like the Ruger, that leaves only the Howa as the only real inexpensive option. Theres a reason Howa and CZ built the Grendel on their Micro actions, because the stubby cased Grendel can be finicky to feed in standard short actions!
Id start here, unless you really want to go all out and drop $4-5K! Hell build you a lightweight composite Hunter on the reliable Howa action, with hinged bottom metal.
