[QUOTE="mmgravy, post: 2829009, member: 60615"] The Sportsman 78 is an outstanding action to use for rebarreling or building a custom rifle. I have used those actions to make a number of custom rifles. They all seemed to be darn straight actions and all rifles shot below MOA. A few years ago I used a 78 action as the base of a parts rifle. I had a Remington mountain rifle .270 barrel and stock from two different rifles, BDL bottom metal, an outstanding Walker trigger and leftover bottom metal screws from various previous project builds. Dale Hegstrom of Little Crow Gunworks installed the barrel on the action with correct headspace. Otherwise we screwed things together and put a Leupold 1.75-6 on it in Talley rings and headed to my range. The parts rifle shot well under MOA with various loads so I was one happy camper. It is one of my favorite deer rifles..... [/QUOTE]
