a barreled action only?

I've decided I really have the bug to build this ultimate super-light rifle in .260 rem, but I have a special, unusual custom stock in mind (which I think that MPI may make for me). I really like Cooper stuff; heard such good things.

Can you give me a good short list of high-quality makers that will sell just a rifled action in a lightweight config? I hate paying for a stock that will be thrown away or given away or sold for $30 on gunbroker.

I want a 20" #1 bbl of the highest quality, with a good short action, fairly light, cerakoted in FDE, with a fluted bolt, for under $2K. The action/safety style I prefer is Win 70 (post 64 push feed), but Rem 700 or Wby Mk V or "other" is OK, too, as long as it's on the light side.

I don't need any non-standard twist as I'll be running 120s-129s through it.
