Mine went like this:
started with a used blued, wood stock, carbine.
.920 Butler Creek Co-Polymer barrel and stock ($185 for me, I've seen these barrels for $110 lately in SGN, that means you could do this now for $150ish)
Volquartsen Grand Master Action Kit
titanium trigger, firing pin, spring guide, hammer, (I think its titanium) extra power springs. Lowered trigger pull to 2 pounds, no overtravel (adjustable). I gave 198.99 for the kit from Brownells, local smith installed for about $75.
Weaver rail.
++++++
This gun weighs the same as my Nylon 66 (less than 5 pounds scope and all)
All I would change is I'd like to have some iron sight provision, but I can always swap on a red dot with the Weaver rail. Anyway, you can tote it all day, it will group <3" at 100 yds, and less than an inch at 50.
Optics are kinda particular, and with the Weaver you can always swap them, so I won't even get into that.
