[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 138578, member: 12"] Rem footprint clones might have the same external dimensions on some models but is where all similarity ends. They are massively different inside and much closer tolerances and with different metals. the Lawton 7500 is slightly larger diameter, longer tenon and still uses Rem bottom metal, triggers etc. As for hanging the barrels on a Rem, most of the clones correct one major issue with the Rems and that is a longer tenon to screw the barrel in and much cleaner and more accurate threads. the longer tenon cannot even be fixed with the "accurized rem". I shot and won a lot of matches with an accurized rem and it can be made to shoot accurately. However, it will never ever be as smooth, fast and most importantly, as economical in the long run as a custom action. There is zero debate on those three criteria. BH [/QUOTE]
