[QUOTE="Chawlston, post: 138561"] [ QUOTE ] Chawlston, just curious which customs arent built from the ground up,which customs are sleeved and which use a rem bolt in thier action? [/ QUOTE ] When you are shopping for an action just ask those questions. Some manufacturers/makers may be evolving their processes away from this, but there are a few out there that are so dimensionally equivalent to the remington that they are using remington bolt shrouds. I am not going to crucify any action maker. I will just point out some generalities that must be considered. I for one think most would be extremely satisfied with a truly customized remington.
