My other option would be a ground up build

Surgeon action and bottom metal
Krieger or Douglas barrel
Timney trigger
McMillan stock

This will cost you well over $5000. Just the surgeon actions alone are over 2k. Then the barrel and action have to be squared on a lathe by a competent smith. Good news is mcmillian stocks dont have to be bedded. More bad news it will take you a hell of a long time to get the parts. I know this because I wanted to strip my 700 action and do the same thing, its the main reason I started taking smithing courses.

For a cheaper option you might consider what John Mccoy from 8541 tactical did. Took a 700 spss and dropped it into a bell and carleson stock and bedded the optic rails to the action. He is able to shoot 1/4 min groups with it.


If I were you Id drop the T3 action onto a shillen pre cut barrel or send it to hart and have them mount the action to the barrel, then drop the whole thing into a B&C stock. Its cheaper and faster and unless you can shoot 1/8 moa groups the surgeon action wont help you much.
