[QUOTE="Weaver93, post: 2632735, member: 120245"] I have a four digit (1962 I think) 700 that is now .243. Shoots like a dream. I also have a late 80s that was trued up and fitted with a Lilja (.308) that also shoots very well. Both have Jewel triggers. .308 is in a McMillan and the .243 is in a Remington BDL varmint stock. If you are looking for a intro shooter, I would look at older models. If you want to use it for a budget build I would look at a Mack Brother's. They have a SA in stock that is $700 shipped. You can screw on a RemAge barrel from Northland or one of the other guys. Either way, I would be far less disappointed with a $800-$900 Remington that needs work than a $3,000 Christensen Arms that I need to crank the bolt open like I am kick starting my knuckle head.
