What about building from a left hand rifle action? That would eliminate the trigger problems of the Striker action and get rid of the linkage?
I got the straight skinny from Neal on those beautiful stocks he makes.
I'am thinking of building on a "older" left hand rifle action. That would keep the inital cost down. And to add to the cost, ( ???) what about making the rifle action "single shot" by having a plate welded into the action for a solid bottom. (It's only money!!) ;D
