[QUOTE="longactionHNTR, post: 1388533, member: 103890"] I own a blueprinted Remington 700 with a Krieger 26” 1-9 twist varmint contour, bedded in a B&C stock, Jewell trigger, in 7mm Rem Mag. It shoots sub .5 MOA consistently. I didn’t have the funds for a custom action or expensive stock. I had an old hand me down, Rem700 rifle from my grandpa. So I did what I could afford with what I had. I took it to a local well known college with a Gunsmithing program. They built me an outstanding rifle. I wouldn’t do anything differently. That said I have shot several custom rifles and the actions are smoother. I shot the customs about the same size groups as my Remington. (not the best or most experienced shooter on this forum by a long shot) Build the rifle you want and can afford. If a custom action is in your budget I would get one! If not the Rem700 still shoots just as well for me. Good luck with your decision. [/QUOTE]
