[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1211904, member: 2736"] My two favorite actions to build on are the 700 Rem and the Weatherby mark 5. The Remington because of the available aftermarket parts and the fact that the Remington responses so well to improvements. The mark 5 is in my mind one of the strongest actions and works great for big to really big cartridges. Barrel quality is the biggest problem with all/most factory rifles and is the one thing that normally improves the accuracy of any rifle if installed correctly. If you want to keep one of the rifles because of sentimental reasons, keep your dads rifle as it is. take the other rifle that has no sentimental value and re barrel with a custom barrel one size larger than the factory barrel (It will still fit the stock with very little alterations to the stock and add strength and be more ridged. also have a good muzzle brake installed to tame the beast. this way it would still be a hunting weight rifle that would perform. Just a recommendation J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
