[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 807897, member: 68226"] This topic has long been the discussion of many bar stool and barbershop advisors. You can always tell which are full of BS because they regurgitate the most popular names on the internet and magazines. The people that actually build the rifles are the ones that SOMETIMES know and will shoot you straight. Depending on if they are selling what they make the most profit on or of they are honest.Check out Lawton actions in Montana. This company builds some of the most accurate actions and do not charge for the name. I have built many Stiller, BAT, Defiance actions and I would say the Lawton is just as good and as smooth. I build rifles on the side and do not do it for a living or for profit for that matter. I do it due to retiring way to early and watching Oprah all day sucks. Remember the barrel is much more important than the action. I only build certain calibers and when people want a factory action trued I wont do it except for one. I don't feel I can justify my time to be wasted on anything factory except the Mark V.
