Not investing too much. I have kids so all my hobbies are strictly on a shoestring budget! Basically just planning for a new stock, new optics, and new barrel/bolt head to accomadate a different caliber. It'll be the best that I can afford but if the build goes over $1000 including new dies I've done something dreadfully wrong.

Just curious what's involved in getting the action trued? I've done a bit of shadetree gunsmithing over the years and used to be a professional metalsmith. If it' doesn't involve a mill I may have the ability to do the work myself.
