I didn't have it built. I bought it "pre enjoyed". I found it while searching for my favorite action; an FN Mauser benchrest single shot. Classic looks and they make a fine hunting rifle. This was on an auction site. The description was poorly written and the photos were terrible. I wasn't even sure it was a single shot. The price was right, so I rolled the dice. I didn't want someone to buy it out from under me while waiting for answers from the seller. It's a 6.5-'06AI. The trigger guard was described as damaged. Turns out a previous owner made a cut, I guess with the idea of welding it back with a lower profile. No problem. It's chrome plated, anyway. Who hell chrome plates bottom metal? Also- it's from a repeater and has a hinged floorplate. I would not throw away FN benchrest bottom metal.
Anyway- I got the complete rifle for $450, so....yeah, I'm pretty excited.
