[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 431145, member: 14435"] If you already have a M700 action for your build then there is no need for a custom action, unless the action is beyond what can be blue printed. If you had to go out and buy a donor rifle, then a stiller/phoenix/Defiance/Borden etc become a toss up. By the time you pay for the rifle (even with selling off the other parts to reduce cost) and pay to have the action trued you are just under the cost of a custom action. The custom action may be built out of better materials and be able to take higher pressure without having problems, like lug setback which can happen in a Rem 700 action. If you were going to build a rifle with a case that is any fatter than a wsm/rum then I would look to a custom action. I was at a F-class comp a few months back and several of the shooters were using trued Remington actions. It's all in what [I]you[/I] [I]want[/I] when looking at custom actions. It may not be a case of [I]need.[/I] [/QUOTE]
