[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1263646, member: 12995"] Some people say either one, but the fact is, if you get a used 700 BDL rifle for around $400-450...You will be money-ahead than buying a $1,200+ custom action. Even custom actions will require some lathe work, even if it is a by a significantly lesser amount than a mass-produced action. Ask any professional smith...It's a well-known fact amongst smiths, but not one widely accepted or lamented by the masses who pay the smiths to do the work. Most just assume that being a "custom" action that it's 100% perfect out of the gate...Which is rarely ever-to-never the case. So, regardless of what you go with, the smith is gonna chuck it in a lathe to check square, and it will most-likely get turned. I build all my customs on 700 actions, and with a gunsmith that knows what he's doing, and that charges good prices, and has a quick turn-around time... I have no reason or need to build on anything more expensive. Some of mine shoot 1/4 MOA. [/QUOTE]
