[QUOTE="mrbofus, post: 1009882, member: 47819"] Dr Vette, Very interesting approach and much appreciated info. Something to consider. I am not set on the vanguard but intrigued. I guess I was considering the cost of building vs buying new. Like I said I have a late 80's /early 90's R700 ADL in 30-06. This was my one and only huniting rifle for many years and it served me well. Then the buying bug set and the one and only rifle turned into needing a bigger safe. The R700 got neglected, so I thought I would bring her back to life. The Barrel has the front and had rear sight, even though it shot pretty well, I never liked that barrel for some reason, the wood stock had war wounds on it and I started to refinish and its in the garage half finished, barreled action in the safe. I now find myself with out an 06 and am wanting to put her back together with new barrel and stock. Doesn't have to be an 06 but just not sure what way to go here. On a tight budget of course. So comparing the last post of DR VEtte's Vanguard 06 at $700 ish. Is it possible to revive the old R700 for similar $$ ? [/QUOTE]
