[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1769821, member: 38048"] First right off the bat. Yes absolutely a 700 will do it all for less than a custom. And most of the customs are not even custom. They are copies of the 700. Not a fully drew up fresh sheet action. I personally use mostly 700s on all my own personal rifles even though I can put a Bordin on if I want. The Bordin med would be The cats butt on your prc. The op said a blue printed 700 for 5-600 bucks. What does this guys bluprinting consist of. If it's blue printed like mine it would be extremely accurate and smooth running. Accuracy for hunting and compatition are 2 different classes. It will be under a 1/2 moa 5 shot gun for sure. So will the custom for more that twice the price. I'm starting to look at all the low end customs and thinking they are big on value. Like a company makes a 1500 action and a 750 action. They are for all intent and proposes doing the same thing. Just for basics an action has a receiver that has the threads for the barrel. Lug faces for bolt lugs. A channel for bolt to pull back and forth. A cut out for rounds to go into the action from below or side. A way to hold the trigger. A custom only does this. But you can pay more and get a trigger hanger. Changed nothing but access to your trigger from bottom in glued down rifles. Bolt body breaks down into tube that holds the locking lugs handle to move bolt back and forth and rotational. Not much happening here. Flutes for smoother sliding better handle maybe. The striker assembly is just that or with shroud safety. This is all an action does. Aside from holding bases for rings and screws for attaching to stock. If you do all of that better or not it will still do it's intended propose. If money were never an obstacle I would use the customs on them all. They are prettier. I was going to say smoother too but how do you really get much smoother than a Tikka. If you can wait for the bighorn do it just for the value of resale if you sell. Seems like great deal you can't lose on. I know someone is going to stop on me for this and I will get some likes. Know the facts and use common sense and you will be ready.

If your factory Tikka shoots 1/4 moa what is a custom barrel going to do that much better? Shep [/QUOTE]
