[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 812844, member: 54963"] I am definately no expert, but I recently was in your position about 2 years ago. I had a M700 7mag. I now have a custom M700 with a Krieger barrel hunting rifle in 7 mag. 1) You need to know how much you are willing to spend and how much your project will cost. Tons of research and phone calls. 2) What gunsmith to use (Krieger did my action / bolt face work and installed the barrel) 3) How much time do you have to wait. This can be a time consuming project. 4) You need to know what your expectations of the rifle are going to be: this will impact cost 5) If you go custom, you will by defalt become a handloader, so there goes more $$ and research. 6) Make sure you do your research on barrel break in and how to maintain a custom barrel. There are a lot of opinions out there. Some are very valuable and some not so much. Remember to consider the source. I could not be happier with my rig. It shoots extremely accurate and it is set up exactly the way that I want. These are just some suggestions to think about. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
