[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2738376, member: 66917"] First, having an action blue printed is a nominal cost compared to buying a barrel and having it chambered and fitted. It will be around the cost of a good aftermarket trigger. I have been personally involved with 4 Remington actions made into custom builds. One 60s vintage M721, a 70s vintage BDL M700, a 90s vintage M700 Mountain, and a 2013 vintage bought new Stainless M700 action/trigger combo that was never in a factory rifle. They have all shot very good. They were chambered in 7mm STW in some cases and 7mm LRM in other cases. The barrels have ranged from Shilens (3 - 7mmSTWs), Douglas (1 - 7mm STW), Brux (2 - 7mm LRMs, and a Hart (1 - 7mm LRM). The 3 LRMs are still shooting lights out. The STWs have gone on to barrel heaven. In all cases heavy precision recoil lugs were used and the stocks ranged from a wooden High Gloss BDL to several McMillans. The bolts were all modified with a Sako or M16 extractor. Two of these rifles both Brux based 7mm LRMs, have been used oddly by my grown son to make the longest shots on game I have witnessed.
