    Gunsmithing Action wrench for badger M2008

    what action wrench are you guys using for your M2008? Marty told me to get one from Tac Pro. I called them and they want nearly $1000.00 for the kit that comes with the vise wrench and torque wrench. I don't need the vise and torque wrench.

    GAP .308 built with a Surgeon action in an MCS GAT

    Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. What can I expect to pay for a factory new or used 700 action? Where is the best place to buy a new or used one with a 223 bolt face? There is one on Gunbroker for $380, is that a good price?

    338 Edge rifle from 300 RUM action

    Does anyone know if any 300 RUM action will work for a future 338 Edge rifle? For example, if I buy a SAKO or Winchester in 300 RUM, and rebarrel it, would it work for a 338 Edge? This seems like a viable option compared to a Lapua. Thanks.
