I built one years ago,I was walking along whistling Dixie ,walked in the door of Bob's Gun Exchange ,tripped over....the doorstop...looked in the showcase and stopped mid note, forget what I paid but I was happy,most of the hard part was done .but you can make a good trigger from a military on,and it is smooth as glass.the rifle cost me total about $500 in the early 90's gunsmith charges,blueing,clambering head spacing,he did ,I did the trigger work,lapped the ways,buehler safety install,polishing,stock Inletting and finishing,stock 1 was Birdseye maple bought as a board semi inletted for a Mod.98,made the stock but thought it too fancy,went to Numrich arms,pulled a walnut 98 beater stock out of the scrap wood box for ,like,$5 ? Took it home refinished it,re inletted the barrel channel and some minor points,glass bedded it ,pillar bedded it,I still have both stocks ,1st one is a better target stock ,the walnut one is a field stock,they change with no POA change.but it likes being dressed in walnut! Sorry it was a long storie.
