[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2904733, member: 8394"] Do you have a weight in mind? Does a protruding magazine bother you? One of the coolest guns I've seen in the last few years was a custom stocked bergara b14r. It was a cooper stock for a 700 footprint that stockys had made for them in French walnut. They had the bdl cut for m5 and then dropped the b14r barreled action into the stock. Would be under 1500 for an action stock and inlet, and a fairly unique piece. Downside is a massive hanging aic mag for a not so whopping 10 rounds. I've a few accurized 77 rifles, and love them. Don't think I could stomach current prices for how they perform. It would be tough to do a donor rifle plus barrel for 1500 let alone stock, trigger, and bolt work. All in they make for a nice hunting rifle but have IMHO been eclipsed in value for dollar. I like the cz 455 aesthetic better than the 457 but the short bolt throw is nice. Action plus barrel will likely get you a shooter, downside is not a ton of stock options, but manners has a few as does Boyd's and of course the occasion factory wood lottery. [/QUOTE]
