[QUOTE="X-man, post: 808119, member: 8416"] One more action to throw in the pile is a stone stock Remington 700. I have taken a stock Rem 700, screwed on a match barrel and had it shoot just as well as any custom action so many times I wonder why I even bother with the blueprint process. I have NEVER seen an accuracy improvement from blueprinting an action....This is to include actions that were later determined to only bear on one locking lug! This is Long Range Hunting...not bench rest central or 6mmbr. What matters to those guys has little relevance in our world. Function is more important than that last 1/10th of an inch in groups. Speaking of function (or lack there of) I have seen many of the top actions fail miserably with the addition of a little dust or sand while the old Rem700 continues to go bang. Extraction: How many million Remington 700s are there? Out of those how many extractors have failed? I am coming up on 40 years behind the trigger of a Rem 700 and I have yet to have an extractor problem. I'm not saying they dont happen, but I am saying there are very rare and that many are the result of operator error. [/QUOTE]
