[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 141763, member: 2852"] +1 what BH said. Some other things to consider: Even a blued trued Remington can still have problems that can't be fixed. The best Remingtons have about .008" tolerances whereas customs like Stiller Predators run in the neighborhood of .004" and full blown BR actions running .001-.002 1/2. In other words, you can true an action up but it will never have the tolerances of an action that was built with precision in mind. Another consideration too is that most of the super nice custom actions are built without a safety accomadation. This might not be what you want for a hunting action so check on that before you order one. Also, the BR actions are sure nice, but some don't like dirt or foreign debris at all. My Stiller Viper action is so tight that it won't really run smooth unless it is in a horizontal position! And one time, I had a little bit of cotton patch strand about 1/16" long in my bolt raceway and it pretty much shut it down until I removed it. Not good for a hunting gun! And you might want to check to see what's included with the action like trigger hangers, rings, trigger guards, recoil lugs, etc. These things can really increase the price of a custom action if you have to buy them accessory. And remember, none of the customs I'm aware of come with triggers so count on spending some extra dough there. All in all, a Rem is cheaper than any custom, but the finished product will not be as nice, or have as much value as a custom. And it depends on what you want to do with the rifle. Is it for hunting deer at 500 yards, or is it for competition, or is it for knocking over p-dogs at 1k. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
