I've decided to build a .338 Edge and need some guidance on actions. I am well aware that the Remington 700 is arguably one of the (if not the) best factory action to use. But was curious as to what other options I had. I've found a pretty sweet deal on a Weatherby Vanguard (which to me looks quite comparable to a 700) but wasn't sure if it was up to snuff. I'm not wanting to drop the dough on a custom action. Just want to start with an old factory action and re-work it. So what options do I have and what are the advantages of each? So far my very short list may consist of:
Rem 700
Weatherby Vanguard
Savage 111
...
Thanks in advance for any input.
