All this recent talk about 35 whelens and 9.3x62's has me interested but I would want the weight to be in the 7 1/2 - 7 3/4 pounds fully scoped.
Thinking about picking up a Remington 700 action (action only). Obviously I would have to find a gunsmith to put a barrel on.
How hard is "making" the rest of the rifle? I am, frankly, not very handy. But if all you do is buy drop-in parts, I could figure that out in an afternoon.
Or is it just better to find the cheapest model 700 you can find that fits your magazine desire and just do a rebarrel / stock swap?
Thanks
