[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2446957, member: 24284"] I like custom actions, well,,, most of 'um anyway. That said, many don't take into account that some want a basic build. The RR serial numbered 700s are straighter than ever before. That said, primary extraction camming is usually non-existent. I wonder how many 700s are in the publics' hands with no primary extraction and the owner has no problem with it? A side bolt release is nice, but not necessary. So, a guy looking for a 'basic' spends $525 or so on a 700 action. If the difference is $375 to $4oo between a 700 and a custom action, that's a premium barrel blank. It is his choice to buy a custom or a 700. The price of a 700 may be all that he [I][B]wants[/B][/I] to spend and all that he needs . True, a custom action retains its value for resale. Some have absolutely no intention of ever selling. This thread, like every thread that asks about Remington 700s for a build has gone sideways! The OP asked "where is the best buy for a 700 action?". [B][I]NOT[/I][/B] a word in his post said anything about a custom action. Yet there are 7 out of 19 posts telling him he should get a custom. If you prefer a custom action, and that's all you'll buy, good for you! But if a guy just wants a 700 to build on, that should be fine, too! We still have a choice, here in the US. Maybe some should respect that others may not make the same choices as you would! [/QUOTE]
