Heck you could build that exact rifle but with a better action for less.

Sounds like you have some experience with both the 9 and 6 lug wby action.
Which action would you go with that's in the same weight class on a sub 5# build in a cartridge with similar ballistics?
Hope it shoots under 1/2" as well

The Mark V has always been overpriced, like buying a Cadillac or Lincoln. The base Vanguard has always been a bargain.
