Air rifle for modding

I'm looking for a fairly inexpensive .177 spring air gun that I can start with and make it really nice. So it should be made well and accurate, but maybe have a cheap stock (which I will definitely be replacing), or a subpar trigger (if it is fairly simple to improve or replace), or anything like that.

Also I'd like to make something like a classic bolt action rifle without iron sights. I've seen a lot of mods that replace the front sight with a conspicuous muzzle break, has anyone done something that looks like (or is) just a plain barrel?

I'm looking for a nice walnut sporting stock, too, if anyone has recommendations for a good source.

The IZH 513M looks interesting offhand, but maybe not a great practical choice.

This doesn't meet all of your criteria, but here is a nice project by slavia on a Crosman G1.

I got the G1 because it was on clearance at Walmart, but any of the B18/B19 guns (G1, Quest, Phantom, Summit, etc.) would be the same. They are fairly inexpensive and are readily available. Many of the parts that I cobbled together are available commercially (in particular the trigger).
