[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 2282642, member: 85987"] Purchase a bighorn or ARC action pick up a prefit from shillen criterion or pick one from the many others for that action. Pick the stock or chassis that fits what you want to do and be done with it. Don't use a 700 unless you already have it because by the time you fix it you will have spent more than the above and won't have the resale the above have if you change your mind. I think Gunwerks has an action that is 850 so that would/could be another option and there is a whole list that will fill the bill above this price pointas well. A properly tuned 700 is capable of very fine accuracy no doubt. to get it to the custom level with extractor small firing pin light firing pin good trigger square and true and minimum tolerance for the bolt body with a bigger bolt body or borden style bumps and a true thicker lug you are adding 650-800 to the original cost. I picked up a nucleus and will do what I described this fall/winter. I have both a standard and a magnum boltface so undecided on what to do with it yet. [/QUOTE]
