[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 815043, member: 12995"] Welcome to the STW forum. I think you're on the right track as far as a 700 action as a starting platform. As mentioned, you will definitely want to have it trued and squared. You don't have to have a 7mmSTW gun to build off of, if you plan on scrapping everything, minus the action. You could go to Academy Sports or Walmart and buy a $379 Rem 700 ADL in a .300 WinMag and it will work just fine. Both use long-action magnum actions with the same bolt face. Just about any magnum long-action will work. Or, you could go the custom route, which is always nice. Personally, I don't have any rifles with custom actions, but that's just b/c of the money factor, and not for any other reasons. If I could afford to build all my rifles from here on out with Stiller actions, I probably would. I love the 700 action, and own several. It is my favorite action for bolt guns. Keep us updated on your build. It's always nice to see people interested in the STW. [/QUOTE]
