I lucked into this for a steal. Kelby Atlas, Manners stock, Bartlett 8 twist barrel, Bix n Andy trigger, 6.5x47 Lapua. Barrel is just over 16 inches, so I could drop this in a rifle stock. The barrel profile is a little heavy for my taste, but re-profiling or fluting is a gamble for effect on accuracy. They come pre-headspaced with pinned lugs, so it could be a home barrel swap if needed. Just needs a scope and a little tweaking, but so far really liking the feel of the action and stock.

Boy, that WOULD make a neat little carbine!
I'd leave that chubby barrel as-is if you think you might go that route - at least until you try it with a butt-stock on it. Barrel being that short, the mass may improve the handling. My 357 Mag Contender Carbine is very light, but awkward to carry because it balances right at the front edge of the trigger guard. Strangely, that makes it SEEM heavier than it is.

Repeater bolt pistol? I have one! Old long gone friend built this one for me. Started out as a very used Sako action stuck in a fiberglass stock chambered in 7mm TCU. Fed from a permanently attached AR15 magazine. Tale told to me was it was the gun that Ken Tapp won the long range event at the Masters in 1988. I took it to the friend who recreated it as a Douglas barreled 222. He said the only parts of the gun that were useable were the bolt and action.
