Buy a complete rifle(pawn shops, gunstores, nickle ads, etc.) for cheap and take it apart, I've got several that cost <$200. If you want just a new action I would contact Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply. You can buy a new Stevens 200 for less than $300 at the local gunshop also.
Thanks for all the information, i will take it all into consideration. Ill prolly just go get one at a pawn shop or gun show. Im looking to start building a custom.
we sell the new actions, varmint, target, and sporter. i dont know if you are wanting to get a used one and try to sell the excess parts or if you want a brand new action only. they are new in box with the accu trigger and i believe the bottom metal.
if you are interested let me know and i will post some pricing.
