[QUOTE="BillR, post: 358945, member: 462"] Ok so I looked around and spent my money on a Remington 700 7MM Ultra Mag barreled action with the cheap rubber maid stock. It cost me $225.00. Barrel was pretty much had and the dealer did not wish to spend any money on it to get it re barreled and its got a crap stock. I can have the Remington trigger worked over or buy a Rifle Basic's Trigger and have them work just about the same and the end cost just about the same. H.S. Precision stock with the adjustable butt and comb will be the stock. Not cheap but I have one already and like it a lot. This is going to cost me just about the same as buying a custom action by the time I get it this far. So what I have by that time is a Custom stocked Rem 700 RUM action and trigger without any bottom metal and in need of blue printing and barrel lug which will run about another $200 or so unless I get wild and send it off to Gre-Tan and have him work it all over and spend a whole bunch on it but I don't see that as being necessary. I've shot a couple of his rifles and they are awesome but I don't think all that is necessary in a hunting rifle.
