[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1720138, member: 69478"] I agree with Lance on this one. I would personally just rebarrel your old rifle, have the action trued, new stock, and new trigger. You’ll have about the same price in doing that than you would a new 5R. Don’t get me wrong, the Remington 5R is an excellent factory rifle. The new 700s in general are showing to be better and higher quality here recently than they were in the past. Even at that, a 700 action with a Bartlein, Krieger, Hart, etc. barrel fitted and chambered by a good smith is hard to beat. There’s always a gamble when buying any factory rifle. [/QUOTE]
