[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 608842, member: 17844"] If it's a controlled round feed ( big Mauser style claw ) extraction then it is not that great as a varmint / target / precision action as teh push feed Mod 70 would alow easier loading iof single rounds that may be too long for the magazine. Most gunsmiths prefer to accurize a Rem action as it's just a tube. The mod 70 has a flat base and a fixed recoil lug to contend with when holding the action for truing but it can be done ok. As soon a s you use the word " precision " you change the whole ball game. Why buy a custom top grade barrel , a target grade trigger , a custom stock an expensive long range scope and all the other stuff but then use a secondhand donor action ? I don't get it. If you are going to do a cheap as chips job then fair enough. I think you should just buy a new precision action as the basis for an accurate gun . The New Zealand Barnard are good and not that expensive [url=http://www.barnard.co.nz/]Home[/url] [/QUOTE]
