To be completely honest, you're just going to be throwing money away on this project that you'll never be able to get back out of the gun if you ever go to sell it.
Cost of Base Rifle = $300
Sights & Install = $150 +/-
Scout Rail & Install = $100 +/-
Cut & Thread Barrel = $75 +/-
New Boyds Stock = $140 +/- (can't inlet factory stock for CDI's bottom metal so have to get an aftermarket stock - Boyds is cheapest option)
CDI Hardware, Inletting & Shipping = $167 (per other thread)
You'll end up with over $930 in the rifle - and that's not even counting the scope or magazine for it. That's still over $600 if you leave out the cost of the base rifle.
For about the same money you can go out and buy a brand spanking new Savage Model 11 Scout Rifle that already has everything you want PLUS an adjustable comb and LOP. The icing on the cake is you also get a muzzle brake and it's a 110 action - not an Axis action, so it's going to hold it's resale value a LOT better.
