[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1944389, member: 31749"] With all the really good entry level custom actions with reasonable prices out there... why? Buying a factory Remington action For the purpose of building it, budget or otherwise is what’s called tripping over a dollar to pick up a dime. If you don’t have it trued you save what? $200-300? Even on a budget build that’s not a lot of money and then you have to live with all the other corners Remington cut. If you have it trued/blueprinted then you are basically spending the same amount of money as you would for a mid level custom action by the time you add a rail bolt knob etc. Years ago when your only options were spending $1100+ for a Stiller, Defiance, or Surgeon... yeah this might have made more sense, but there are dozens of excellent R700 clone entry level customs on the market now, only reason I’d build a factory action would be if you already own the rifle and it has some sort of sentimental value to you.
