[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1111693, member: 55230"] A reworked 700 action is not a full custom. What about the milspec? Even if you ran into problems with the sendero a few bucks to a smith or a return flight to remington should fix it. Savage actions are rough and sloppy, they work but bottom of the barrel. The trigger options aren't all that great, a jewell compared to any savage trigger is night and day. Don't get me wrong you can have an accurate savage, I do, but after owning only a savage and then handling what I could of had (700 or better) you will quickly find an excuse to get the better rifle. If budget minded is all this build is then absolutely get the savage action, I would still opt for a better stock. Which reminds me, finding savage long action stocks is a pain while there are rem stocks turning over hand and fist all the time. I would pick up that stiller action on here for $700 or get a 700 from a gun show or pawn shop rebarrel and shop for a stock. Get a jewell and call it a day. Also the mag well of a rem 700 is long than a savage and you still have the wyatt option. You don't have to get the action blueprinted. What is your budget? What barrel? Do you have any actions in hand to use or is this ground up? [/QUOTE]
