[QUOTE="holechit, post: 2474061, member: 122492"] I’ve been convinced that buying a 700 would cost me as much if not more in the long run. Buying the origin will cost me roughly the same as a worked over 700 action, and I would be replacing the stock and trigger assy/bottom metal on the factory rifle anyways. I figure buy once, cry once. I’m not necessarily worried about buying some dies and brass, but I already have several thousand loaded rounds and several thousand pieces of 223 brass. The 223 REM is a good middle of the road option to me, and will work for everything from foxes, bobcats, and prairie dogs, to coyotes. I just don’t see the sense in buying into another cartridge that does the same thing, for more money, and from what I’ve heard, more fur damage. Buying a couple hundred, or couple thousand rounds/brass just adds a bunch of cost to my build when I already have what I need. [/QUOTE]
