would like to build/buy a 32-20 rifle what would be the easiest bolt action to convert, ? not interested in lever action ,prefer bolt action, after years of looking for a martini cadet I have given up on falling block single shots, thanks
 
Take a look at the Husqvarna Model 25 in 32-20. Tradex has some for sale.

The Husqvarna is a great option.
An action that might be convertible, and scaled for the round might be the Brno Fox.
There are also the elderly Savage and Winchester bolt action rifles made in .32-20.
 
I'd be thinking something that started as a .22 Hornet. The 32-20's case is only 1.315" long vs the 1.403" of the Hornet. You would have to open the bolt face about 50 thou. That's not too much of a big deal. Be a custom made barrel though.
