[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1865912, member: 38048"] Remington 700 is like a 350 Chevy or Ls if you like the newer motors. There are tons of aftermarket parts and you can make a 700 as custom as you want. I've been building rifles on 700s for over 30 yrs and they make a very accurate rifle. Even if you don't true one up and put a good barrel on it and get it bedded right it will shoot under 1/2 moa. I can get almost any factory barreled 700 to shoot under 1/2 moa with a little work. They are just easy to get to shoot good. Most custom actions are pretty much copy's of remington 700s with minor differences. If you can swing the extra for a custom then why not but if you just need a solid accurate rifle that won't break the bank a 700 is a nice action. Depending on the cartridge your doing the Tikka is a real nice action too. You won't find a smoother running action than the tikkas. Shep [/QUOTE]
