[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1062770, member: 2736"] All of your options are good with a price difference between them. My opinion would be for overall performance and price the 700 rem action. A trued/blueprinted 700 rem can be had for $500.00 to $600.00 dollars including the blueprinting. As far as custom actions most are clones of the 700 rem action and after buying floor metal, magazine & parts and a trigger, you will have more than $1,000.00 invested. As said there are more aftermarket parts available for the 700 action than any other action, holding the price down with a little shopping is easy. Keep in mind also that no matter what kind of custom rifle one builds, he will never get full value for it if he tries to sell it. (people willing to spend that much money would rather just build there own. I can find no advantages between your choices in accuracy if done buy a master Gunsmith with premium barrels, components and workmanship. I do however not recommend a do it your self project using pre-threaded and chambered barrel and setting the rifle up your self. Some have been successful but many aren't . This is just My opinion based on the number of rifles I have repaired and built. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
