[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 222863, member: 8843"] I'm building my next 308 on a Phoenix reciever with a PT&G bolt , this setup will have the same or better clearance than a Rem 700 thats had the bolt sleeved. Here is what I'm getting and what the total was Reciever , with heavier tang and target port (added strength with both) .702" bolt race ways , EDM cut (very smooth and close tolerance) side bolt stop (Like Nesika's) double pinned .312" thick recoil lug extened thread tennon to 1.403" total with shipping = $437.50 PT&G bolt , .700" diameter , M-16 extractor , threaded bolt handel to be TIG welded on , total with shipping = $153 Total action cost = $590.50 Rem 700 , true action and ream bolt race way , $200 true bolt and sleeve to fit action , $150 install sako or M-16 extractor , $150 including extractor side bolt release $125 bolt handle fitted with Badger bolt knob , $80 Total cost = $705 and thats IF you have the action already and your gonna loose your *** if you ever have to sell it. Sell your action , should get $325 pretty easy for complete action and trigger then your well on your way to the custom that will be better built and hold it value WAY better than a factory action. Granted you don't have to get all the extra stuff on the rem 700 you could just have it blueprinted and that'll run about $200 then another $150-$200 for the barrel install. You don't say what your hunting out to 800yds that would help determine what caliber would better suit your needs. [/QUOTE]
