[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1832495, member: 13732"] Hmmmm I in no way feel a rem 700 have as good or better than custom action. I think they're turds, and with vigilant polishing, are mediocre at best. For gosh sake to get proper extraction/ignition timing you have to braze on a new bolt handle. Cock on close is f'n horrible, heavy bolt lift to open action, usually the tennon threads aren't true, one lug is usually not making full contact with its abutment, or any in some situations. I have several guys I know, who are pretty well known gunsmiths, they work on Remingtons, they're not tightly toleranced at all. One mass produced rifle that is? A Tikka. You can buy shouldered prefits for a factory Tikka. I can take the bolt out of one rifle, and use it it another and the shoulder length changes by 1 thou on brass. Do that with a Remington! You probably won't even be able to get the bolt closed. [/QUOTE]
