[QUOTE="Bishop, post: 1264668, member: 26163"] I have rifles built on stillers, defiance actions, and one built on a rem 700 La. I wont ever build on a remington action again. It could just be my bad experience and not normal but i have extraction problems with the factory rem extractor, had to have it timed, had to pay to have an aftermarket bolt knob installed, had to pay to have it trued and it has a bottom bolt release, and i had to add a rail to it. After all that expenditure it still is just a rem 700 action, it shoots well but i would very much prefer to have a custom action. If i ever need to sell the rifle, it appears that it is much more difficult to sell a trued up rem 700 built rife vs one built on a custom as well, judging by the classified forums. The custom actions just "feel" better to me. Have a better extraction setup, timing, extraction, plus if you ever re-barrel your pretty much giving your gunsmith a known quality item to work with. I personally will never build on a trued remington again. But would happily barrel my own savage action with a barrel nut, it personally seems to be worth the savings to me. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
