[QUOTE="locotrician, post: 340070, member: 9128"] well thanks for the replies and the info it is much appreciated. my smith does my work for practically nothing i mean it might as well be free so the work needed to set up a remington action is basically no cash out of my pocket, making my issue wether to spend roughly 400 to get a rem action or 900+ on a custom action. if i go custom i see no reason why i can shoot the lapua or lapua improved round and have it set up to shoot the .300 smk and have it seated out where it should be. the advantage i saw to the lapua vs the Edge is simply brass quality nothing more. I dont want to end with something built on the 700 action that i cant trust though if i cant shoot the norma or the lapua from it and have them loaded up pretty hot without worries then i wont do it all. I really dont like long barrels by long i mean over 28 inches and i dont want to be under 2800fps. i guess what it boils down too is me wanting too much out of the 700 action because i dont spare any expense in stocks triggers or barrels and where i try to justify that is by using remington actions. i have researched the norma round too but seem to find it is in the 2700 fps range and im sure thats adaquate its hard to settle for when there are faster rounds out there in the same arena. sorry for the out of sequence rambling.
