[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 867002, member: 11717"] The 700 is not my first choice for an action to build off of but it will certainly do. Have you considered an M70 Sporter? Not sure if they are available in LH, but if they are that would be my recommendation. The Weatherby Vanguard or Howa would be my first choice but they do not make a rilfe in 26" barrel that I know of. As for your plans with the 700... wood stocks are very attractive but they are also more prone to weather effects. I agree that pillars are a good idea, especially in a wood stock. And a Jewel or Timney trigger is almost a must. I like Jewels best. Factory sporter rifles can be very temperamental for accuracy. This is where the Vanguards and Howa's are best IMO as well as better actions. Good luck with your rifle project! [/QUOTE]
