[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 59856, member: 10"] Auburn Tiger, Just noticed your question. Welcome to the board as well. If you are building a custom rifle, get a Rem 700 hands down the best factory action to build. If your going to buy a semi-custom rifle which the custom shop Wby rifles are, I would still get a rem 700 action and have a rifle built to the specs you want. My package price full custom rifles will come in at less then what most custom shop Wby rifles will and I would have no worries that it would far outshoot the Wby. Its far better to do things right the first time and that would be with a Rem 700 as a platform for this project. It would be easiest to get a Rem 700 short action chambered for one of the 308 based rounds, 243, 260, 7mm-08 or 308. None of these would need any receiver or bolt work at all except the accurizing process. Smaller caliber 700s can be used, such as those for the 223 family or rounds but the bolt will need to be opened up and the extractor replaced. The Wby receiver is a very stout receiver but no more so then a properly fitted Rem 700. Even with all nine of the locking lugs on the MkV receiver, only about 6 will bare. Compare this lug area with that of a properly machined Rem 700 with 100% lug contact on its two big bolt lugs and the Rem actually has more baring surface asn shear area compared to the Wby. The analogy about the Camero and the Corvette are about right on the money. from the factory they are both pretty hot cars, but tricked out to the max, the little Camero will smoke the vette. Personally, for building extreme accuracy rifles for my customers, there is really only one action, the Rem 700. I use others such as Win M70 push feeds and even Savages but the Rem is the tops for quality, workability and end result potential. Sakos are great actions but getting one will cost you significantly more then a Rem 700. Add to that the much more limited selection of sftermarket stocks and accesseries and there really is no competition with the Rem 700. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
