[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 452995, member: 20047"] I have a 30-06 MR-7. I have had a couple of them. It was very accurate and is even more accurate now that I am hand loading. So that would be my first question, have you maximized the potential with hand loads? Seating depth etc.... As to customizing, there is a recent thread where the subject was whether or not there is value in blue printing. A couple of the gunsmiths on the site discuss the return on investment to do Remington 700. I would assume that the costs you will encounter will be a bit higher as there are likely to be slower tooling set ups etc.... Search for that thread. I believe there are smiths that could do what you ask, but I went through the mental exercise and decided to keep the MR-7 as is and went with a Remington to tweak and play around with. At some point in the next year I will likely settle on a caliber that I really like and pull the proverbial trigger on a complete custom rifle. At this point I am leaning towards a Borden action, Bartlein Barrel in 6.5, 7 or 308..... [/QUOTE]
