This is not cast in concrete yet. I spoke to a couple builders this AM and have considered the following actions:
Ruger No. 1
Hagn
Faquahrson
Browning
Dakota mod. 10
Winchester high wall
I like them all, but I like both the looks and the availability of the Ruger most. I am thinking 26" Krieger barrel in 6 mm Remington with a medium heavy sporter profile.
Gary Goudy, who would stock this for me, says that he eliminates the forend accuracy problem when he stocks the gun. He also has a Ruger action that he will sell to me. I have a couple English blanks to choose from.
