[QUOTE="Ripperx, post: 198338, member: 11145"] Thank you for the replies and the welcomes. Tom you are preaching to the choir brother, I have never been one to let good sense get int the way of my desires or a good time. The reason I ask is mor a question of cartridge than rifle action only because I feel more comfortable with a 3 or 9 lug action (the short bolt throw does play a factor but more the feel of a solidity and overall strength) and thus the 700 is out for me. the only option for a 2 lugger in my eyes for me is a mauser action. the 700s just never felt right in my hands. I currently own browning's and a pre 64 model 70 I love dearly. But for this I was thinking weatherby action unless I can find a 3 lug custom. Not considering a sako trg because hell why buy a factory when I can get a custom or semi custom for the same price. But I figure I can get a bolt face turned for just about any caliber. So I guess my options are still the same I figure accuracy can and will have to be tuned into any factory rifle (bbl stock bedding action truing etc) and whether the rifle groups for me is not as important as whether I can group with it and more importantly can I put steel on target first shot every time.
