[QUOTE="roperking, post: 1047336, member: 39617"] I have a Remington 700 7mm rem mag, that started its life as a 270. I had it blue printed, and a krieger 1:9 twist 28" sendero contour barrel. I had a break installed, and bought a B&C tactical stock from my smith for a steal. It was right handed so I had to do some work to it but it works great. I had it hydrodipped to make it look sweet, then glass bedded it. This gun is a tack driver and really since I did some of the work it only cost me about $1700. How does it shoot? I can shoot one hole groups at 100 yards and have shot one hole groups at 200 yards. I also have taken it to 1500 yards with no problem. I consistently make 1000 yard cold bore hits on milk jugs. This thing can shoot!!! The trick to managing cost is buying all of the components yourself, and taking it to a capable smith. Usually the high price of buying guns from Len or GA precision is first they use a custom action which adds at leas $500 dollars, if not more, to your cost. Then after that they have to buy the components and take the risk of them sitting on their shelf for a while which adds to the price. If you have all of your own components all you are paying for is the smith's labor, and can get a shooter for reasonable. [/QUOTE]
