[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 889571, member: 12995"] Custom actions are fully machined from solid billet steel, and not from cheaper cast steel, which is not as strong, and is more brittle and porous because of the nature of the casting process. Plus, the entire receiver and bolt assembly have been machined to exacting tolerances that are much higher and tighter than a factory action. Yes, those brands you mentioned are based off of the 700 design, and will fit in place of a factory 700, however, their design has been improved upon, based on the years that people have figured out the 700's weak points. A "full-custom" would be a rifle built on a custom action with no factory-produced parts, that was all put together by 1 smith and is flawless. A "custom" or "semi-custom" is a rifle built off a factory action that has been trued or modified. [/QUOTE]
