[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 470331, member: 3733"] I just BP and barreled a 700 in standard bolt face that had over 4000 rounds thru it an extreamly shot out barrel, one of the most well used guns I have seen in factory form. The lugs were galled, the barrel thread tennon/ action threads were all rusty, and the bolt face had some slight pits. After the full BP and single point recuting of the actions critical surfaces you could not tell it from any other. Looked as good as a day old action that was BP. I think the older 700 had much better bolt cam timing and handle placement that the new ones. Cosmetically a well used action that is coated after the build with Cerakote, or any of the other coatings will be virtually indestiguisable from less used actions. So yes build on granddads 700 [/QUOTE]
