Since I know zero about the Ross I have two questions. How do you remove the bolt? More importantly does anyone have any bedding tips for the Ross?
How's the bore and rifling?
Lot's of things you could with that action; it has the desirable large diameter barrel with square threads so can be easily rebarreled. The Harris magazine platform is a neat feature I would keep. The old stock will give you a nice example of the inletting for the next one.
More money in the parts and action than in that rearsight IMHO, considering the shape it's in.

I didn't even look, it's not mine so not my business. 
After pulling the action it's been decided to let this one lie. On top of all the other issues it appears this was fired without the front action screw in place. Things break when you do that, not just the wood......

Can you be more specific? Do you have photos of the damage?
