[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 128788, member: 12"] You can buy a Lawton action for $695 that is much better and cheaper than a "trued, blue printed, lugs lapped, firing pins and springs" etc Rem/Winchester or any other factory action. Lawton has a Rem footprint 1.350" and 1.450" diameter actions in moly or SS, single/dual port, extended bolt handle, right or left handed and Rem bottom metal and triggers fit. His 1.650" action is $795 and will work with any caliber you want to use. A used Rem trigger is under $30 and used bottom metal is available for under $50 and all fit the Lawtons. It is economically "challenged" anymore to buy an action and pay someone all the money "fixing" it when for less money you can get a top notch custom action (out of the box) that beats any "fixed up" factory action day in day out. Plus at the end of the day, the Rem/Win action is not worth what you spent the moment you walk out of the gunsmiths shop. That is an undisputable fact. Now if you have the action already and do your own work, then another story. BATs start at around $1000 and same for Nesika. Go with the Lawton for what you want or the Predator from Stiller. Sorry, but the thought that any factory action is better is definetly "old school" thinking when nothing else was available. Different game today with different rules and winning equipment reports show it in every discipline. BH [/QUOTE]
