It depends on how many parts you want to change. The easiest would be a 300wm then you don't have to do anything. Next is a 7RM where a barrel and a magazine( you can modify the RM to work though). Then a 30-06 based cartridge with a bolt head change and a firing pin protrusion inspection/adjustment and a magazine.

If your not planning on using the factory barrel or stock anyway: 338 win hog hunter, retails at about $450 has a cheap stock, accutrigger, magnum centerfeed magazine and bolt face. It's the cheapest accutrigger magnum model to build from.
If you want a different trigger anyway you could track down a Steven's 200 or any of the old magnum savages kicking around used.
