Don, I suspect you are right about the cost factor and that is an issue here. I know the guy has some peronality issues but a few of his guns have seemed to be excellent quality and his actions are reasonably priced. An original action is going to cost the same or even more.

What I'm looking to do is build a plain jane back up target rifle. So, I'm looking for take-off wood from someone restocking an old original or something like that - and for actions, I am scouting the landscape to see what is available. Right now, the C.Sharps seems to be the solution (though I don't really care for the thick side profile).
