    Good luck with the build. I built a Husqvarna short action 6.5x55 which shoots 0.3MOA now. Great base. Change the action to a cock on opening and fit a timney trigger. I just got a gunsmith to cut off and re-weld my bolt arm so i could fit a nice big Sightron scope. Boyd's make great stocks.

    nice was looking into a Boyd's walnut, want to keep it traditional looking but with modern techniques/ products.

    On the Trigger i was going to go with a Bold Trigger by Boyd's as i havent heard anything bad about them but thats only on the net, can anyone give me their experiences with them? if you've used one.

    RE hardening, while I have done no research on this action and its hardening procedure and parent metal, "case hardening" is generally in the 0.25-1mm range. Cleaning up surfaces should be no problem but if significant metal is removed professional hardening is actually very affordable
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
