[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 778289, member: 11717"] Yup, bandwagon. I have a couple of stock Sendero's that are excellent shooters. They can do the job, no doubt about that. A lot of it is due to the barrel and the stock. You don't "have to" replace anything but most smiths will encourage you to, including mine. One piece ported bolts are superior to the stock 700 bolt. Sako style extractors are much preferred to the 700 extractor. Integrated recoil lug is a better design. Flat bottomed receiver is better by most people's opinions. I can tune a howa trigger in about 5 min to a crisp 1.5 lbs. It takes about 30 min for me to tune a Rem trigger (old style) to about 2.5 lbs. Ever removed a Rem trigger then reattached it to the receiver? It's a royal PITA. Howa trigger is one screw. If you decide to upgrade to a Timney, you can get a 3 position safety for the Howa. To do that with the Rem, you need to replace the bolt shroud at a cost of about $125. I think Chuck Hawks outlines quality features in an action very well.
