[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1568661, member: 12995"] Not really, it's just hard to find an already trued 700 receiver, unless you buy it already trued/blueprinted from a reputable company like PTG or Kevin Cram, or someone like that. I wouldn't buy a local gun from someone that's been "trued"... You never know what sort of backyard crap was done, or if they screwed something up. That's why I prefer to buy cheap used donor 700's that have never been pulled apart, and then start at square 1 with my gunsmith, that way I KNOW everything was done right. It ends up costing about the same, because you're still going to have to have a gunsmith build the rifle, unless you're going with a remage nut style build. Then, buying an already blueprinted 700 from PTG (which has their own upgraded bolt in it) is worth the extra money. [/QUOTE]
