Hoping for some good advice.

I am looking for an all stainless (barrel, receiver, action) 300 Weatherby Magnum. From what I can tell, Weatherby does offer a vanguard in all stainless model, but I might be a little snobby and want the better Mark V offering.  I heard Weatherby used to make Mark V stainless synthetic, but no longer.

What is the best way forward? Do I buy a vanguard and try upgrading it-- if so what is the way to go? Or do I try to find a used Mark V stainless. Can I buy a Mark V with a stainless barrel and change just the action, bolt, receiver to stainless? Not worried about price as long as it stays under $2500 ish. I'm in no hurry and can save a little longer if need be.

Possibly rechambering a different brand of rifle (Remington maybe?) But I'd rather stick to a Weatherby for obvious reasons!

Thanks!

I would just buy the stainless in mark V. You can find them used all the time. especially under your price range. IMO.
