[QUOTE="zog, post: 1867028, member: 102742"] No. Of course, once the cartridge is seated in the chamber it's going to forget how it got there and shoot the same either way unless the lugs slip, which they won't in either action. I was in the same 'practical' boat as you until I was at a LR shooting class and had a chance to try a Bighorn and a Defiance and compare one to one with a Rem 700. Wow - easy choice for me - I'll spend more $$$ for the custom, even though it doesn't shoot better. I also wasn't looking for bells and whistles until I tried them. Now I'm looking to sell my custom built on a Rem 700 so I can get a more premium action. I don't want to unscrew the perfectly custom fitted barrel to upgrade the action, so I will sell the entire rifle. It's too bad you don't have a way to try them side-by-side so you wouldn't have to rely on reading and asking others. Seems you only really know what you want after you've spent your money and time building your choices. That's why (I think) there are so many recently built rifles for sale on these forums, settling for much less than they spent building them. [/QUOTE]
