[QUOTE="hweissert, post: 1770336, member: 34097"] True!!! Look at all the variances on opinions in this thread alone. If there were one action, one barrel, one trigger, one stock, or heck for that matter, one gun smith that was truly better than the rest, this thread wouldn't even be a conversation. Everyone, including me with custom builds are all chasing the magic bean. In my opinion again, there's more in the barrel, cut, thread, chamber, bedding etc that goes into an accurate rifle than the action. All things being equal again with a trued 700 vs custom actions. I was called out in this thread that machined custom actions are not true all the time. The ones I've bought have not had to be trued, pinned, blue printed etc... so maybe I was wrong in that aspect that not all are 100% perfect to start. But if that's the case, it again brings up why spend the extra coin on a hunting rifle if you spend 5-700 more than a 700 and still have to have the same work done on it to start? I do still stand behind that my defiance and Shelby actions are smoother than any 700's but the most 2 accurate rifles I have ever owned were on a 700 action. I have always thought it was just lucky draw barrels. Heck when you can change a primer and move a group 3/4" it's amazing any of us can ever get one to shoot holes. [/QUOTE]
