[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1263589, member: 4566"] Because if you buy a stock Remington action, it has to be trued + pay for the barrel install. By the time you have a stock Remmy trued you could have bought a custom that wont need trued. If you use a Savage as a donor you can slap a prefit on it and home true it. The other option is to buy a custom and slap a prefit on it as a Remage style build. A trued Remmy will cost about the SAME as a custom action AND will be worth less than the custom will be. . A Savage can be built for well under $1k since you will have a $0 smith bill. A home built Savage will MOST LIKELY shoot under .5 MOA all of the ones I have built have. The following budgets don't include bottom metal or clips since that is so variable and can be $0-$500. Remmy budget Donor $400 Trigger $150+ Barrel $400 Stock $200 Lug $40 Smith bill $500-1000 Savage Donor $400 Barrel $400 Stock $200 Lug $40 Trigger Free Custom should come with lug Action $1000 Trigger $150+ Barrel $400 Stock $200 Smith $250 As you can see the Remmy CAN cost the most AND its still a stock rig. Build a Savage yourself or buy a custom IMHO anyway. [/QUOTE]
