[QUOTE="Tarheelpwr, post: 1569522, member: 54760"] Just from personal frustration, I would avoid going with a Trued factory action. By the time you include some options on a PTG, you're close to $700. You can get into a true custom action for not much more, many with integral or included optics rails (so price difference is actually less). At the end of the day, you'll have a true custom action rather than a trued factory action. I've built several rifles I would NEVER sell. Things changed and I ended up selling. My up front cost was always similar in the end with a trued factory action. Only difference was the resale value is much less than if I had started custom. My $0.02 - if you want to start factory, go Tikka. You won't need to true the action and the factory trigger is very good. Other than that, I'd skip to a custom action. You can get a C&R FFL for $30 / 3 yrs. Several custom action manufacturers will offer you dealer pricing with that. You'll still have to ship to an FFL, but saving 10-20% on the action is worthwhile.
