I purchased a barreled action from samco global about a month ago. It is at the gun smith right now geting the barrel shortened to 26" from 29" The receiver drilled and taped with Leupold mounts and rings. I have a 3-9x 40 VX1 in the closit waiting for its return. A tinmey Saftey installed as the factory saftey will not work with the scope and a butterknife bolt handle being installed. I have a thumbhole laminate stock coming from Richards Microfit Gun stocks. This will be used for whitetail and varments as well as bench shooting.
To answer some of the other questions in the thread you can buy soft point surplus ammo mabe by Privi Partizan from Aim Surplus for about $10.00 per 20. Also Samco has some good deals on the 6.5 X 55. I shoot the Privi Partizan out of my K31 swiss and for the money you can not complain one bit. I was tearing holes at 72 yards the first day out. I have not been out since but with the reputation of the K31 Swiss and my experience so far I think it will easily provide 1/2" groups at 100 yards.
