[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 549502, member: 24624"] That's interesting about Lawton as I've heard lots of good things about them although I've never personally held one. It's all relative in my opinion though... You can go with a plain 700 untrued and may have a decent shooter. A trued/blueprinted 700 will cost a more and should be better if not more consistently high quality. I say "should" because the terms are used loosely and not everyone "blueprints" to the same level of detail and precision. The customs will cost a little more than that. Stiller is one that I consider moderately priced and very consistently high quality. It will probably set you back about the same as the trued 700 or a hair more. But, it will consistently be a top performer for hunting/tactical. Surgeon and others probably fit into this category. BAT appears to offer some premium features in their repeaters such as integrated picatinny and integrated recoil lug. I expect the price reflects that as well. But if you are going all out, then it seems to be at the top of the heap. Whether you have a trued 700 or BAT, 1/4 MOA is the same. Nonetheless, the latter will likely outperform in the long run and consequently retain value. ...and, I'm surprised the Savage proponents haven't jumped in because they make some pretty nice actions as well for someone who's a DIY or budget minded. -- richard [/QUOTE]
