[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 3042576, member: 68875"] Can't tell you how many times I have a single component, and go build a full custom off that one item. Could be a stock, barrel, action...even once I just had a trigger! My suggestion is get a less expensive custom action. Not an R700 to start with. Long gone are the times you can get a pawn shop R700 for $200-250 just for the action. Then true/square, extractor, recoil lug, Nitride or Cerakote all exceed the costs of a less expensive custom action, and it is still a Rem 700 action. Add the niceties like side bolt release, fluted bolt, tactical bolt knob, firing pin springs, etc., and you are now into it for more $ than some great custom options. I did that 3 times, until I finally came.to my senses. If you already HAVE an R700, that helps a little bit. [/QUOTE]
