[QUOTE="Mike375, post: 8600, member: 227"] Dave, All the "accuracy" type guns I have had over the years have been in a skeletonised alloy stock we have in Australia. Most of the barrels have been in 270 Winchester, 6mm/06 and 300 Winchester. Rem 700 has been the choice although I have had one Wby and one M70 in the alloy stocks. However it was a lot more difficult to have them fitted than the Rem "tube". The Rem 700 is the easy solution. 1) If a "glue in" then that round action is much easier to get out than slab sided. 2) You can get the trigger out without taking the rifle apart. 3) Push feed allows actions to be faced off so barrels can be switched between actions. A bit close to impossible for Controlled Round Feed unless someone was preprared to take the extractor all the way around the barrel. Leaving out custom actions, to go to an action other than the Rem 700 makes the road from "action to accuracy rifle" a steeper climb that it needs to be. Mike [/QUOTE]
