You might want to check out any local gun shows that might be reasonably close to you. Our last gun shot there were lots of "well used" long guns that might fit your needs. Also the auction sites like GunBroker, you never know what you might stumble on to. Several years ago I was looking for a 03 Springfield action for a project. I put an ad in my local gun club's newsletter and bingo...found one that was a fair price. By the time I was thru cannibalizing and sold off the stuff I didn't need, it ended up pretty cheap. Just sayin....
