Want to Build a 25-06 Heavy Barrel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cant find a heavy barrel 25-06 from any of the companies on the market w/o going custom and spending over a thousand bucks. So I came up with the idea that I would buy a cheap used savage with like a 30-06 or 270 action. This way I could just change the bbl . Possibly the stock as well just for personal reasons. If I could get the gun for around a couple of hundred I wouldnt think a nice custom heavy barrel would cost more than a couple hundred.
Does this sound doable as far as the budget goes?
Also what other bolt faces would work for the 25-06?
Here is a cheap gun for a donor:

Would this one be a candidate?
