Ok, so this Pawn shop has an older 25-06 savage with the flat back receiver. Am looking for a receiver to rebarrel / pair with a 26 inch McGowan varmint contour 270win barrel that i already have, but wondering if it's easy to get a boyds pro varmint stock (or similar) to fit this flat back receiver? It's a fixed magazine model.

Done a few short actions, this would be my first long action project. If I remember right I have to look at the spacing length between the 2 action screws, correct? What should be the spacing be to make sure I can get a decent stock for it?

Can get that 25-06 for $310 out the door. It's a right handed action, which isn't ideal for me, since i'm left handed, so i'm actually wondering if it won't be better so spend a couple of hundred $ more to get a new left handed savage Trophy hunter, sell of the parts I don't need and use the left handed action, accutrigger and magazine system..

Thoughts? Thanks!
