[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1978700, member: 10755"] My answer depends on WHAT you are doing with the rifle. I build several customs a year, 99% are built on S/S Rem 700’s or Win Model 70’s. I build either heavy LR rifles or lightweight mountain type rifle with skinny fluted barrels to keep the weight right down. I also use Kimber actions on occasion and CZ 550 actions. If weight is a priority, then I would buy a Win Model 70 Featherweight or EW. The Browning is heavier I believe. If you are looking for LR, then the Sendero II style of Rem 700 makes a very good platform in a HS Precision, Manners or McMillan stock. Options like bolt fluting, spiral or straight fluted barrels can also be considered. If building a semi custom, the Rem 700 is a great option. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
