[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 884611, member: 30671"] Pass. A heavy barreled version might hold some appeal, but only if I'd shot it some and knew first hand it performed well enough. Presumably your 7mm has got you covered for now. My experience having done this more than once, and I still have to resist the temptation. Is to forego this route by the time you've modified all of it you've saved no money, and really haven't got quite where you want to be. Basically, you're buying a project the center of which is the 700 action. Buy a custom action the way you want it, put it in the safe, next year pick up a barrel, or stock, or a scope. Given the wait times on some of the quality items, and lead times of the better smiths it could easily take five years. [/QUOTE]
