[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1943692, member: 32525"] Anytime you see Xmark, just know you're going to be replacing the trigger. Unless you like heavy, inconsistent pulls, then by all means keep it. As mentioned above, you can get a trued action from a few places for not much more than that. Or you can get a used "donor" rifle and have a smith true the action for you. I did that with a few rifles- used donors and new unused actions, but had them trued by my smith. Then I spun on some Criterion remage barrels and added my preferred stock/trigger....all shoot 1/2" or better at 100 yards all day long with a little load development. For a "budget" build, what I did is a good way to go and a lot of people have done it with great success. If you're like me, though, after some experimenting, you unfortunately prefer some of the features on a custom action, and now I just can't do the standard Rem700 anymore, though I do think it is a fantastic platform to build on.
