Re: Short Action
If you are going to relace the barrel and bolt, just buy a new rifle. That way, it is what you need, and you now have two rifles. Win, win. The expense will be close to the same either way, but now you can mess with one and still have the other to use while you are waiting for the first to be worked on. The waiting will be either for parts, (new stock, trigger, etc), or smith work, (cut and crown, brake, coatings, etc), so you may as well have somthing to shoot till that's done. JMHO.
