    Yeah, its funny how things work out like that. The rifle I started with was one of the older M85s that came out in the 80s, very plain shitty factory plastic stock, the barrel was totally rooted, it had been one of those farm guns that sat behind the ute seat and was never looked after. Chunks gouged out of the stock, half rusty, really the only bit that was any good was the action, it was a perfect candidate for a custom job. For a hundred bucks I couldn't pass it up. I have a newer 223 that is earmarked for a 17/222 in the next couple of weeks, as well as a 7.62x39 which will become a 22PPC in a month or so. You might get the impression that I like these actions, you are right.
