[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1235361, member: 30592"] There is some fudging going on in the comparisons. If you want a custom action, buy it. If you are satisfied with a Remington 700, use one of them. But if you are going to make a comparison, make an accurate one. The first thing that needs to be done is to establish a definition of "blueprint the action". Enlarge and true the scope base mounting holes. True the tenon threads, receiver face, and lugs. Ream the bolt raceway. Drill the front of the receiver for a pinned lug. Open the feed port for an extended magazine. Install bushings on the bolt body. Install a firing pin bushing in the bolt face. Replace firing pin and spring. True the bolt lugs. Weld the bolt handle to the bolt body. Flute the bolt. Install an M-16 extractor. Which of these are you going to include in your definition of "Blueprint"? Which ones will need to be done to make the 700 action comparable to the action you are comparing it to? How much will each one of these things cost? Don't fail to include the cost of scope mounting bases and a recoil lug if comparing to an action that has those items integral. [/QUOTE]
