[QUOTE="deadlift, post: 909963, member: 40021"] Go with what you can afford, but look long and hard at Pierce, Borden and McMillan actions. We use all 3 and I can say they are worth the extra $$. A stock remmy has its fair share of issues that need to corrected (extractor, recoil lug, bolt knob) but they shoot very well after tweeking. The typical doner 700 will run min $400, truing and .25 lug runs $225-275, Sako or M16 extractor $185 or PTG bolt $225-275 depending on options. Tactical knob $125. You will be $960 +/- into your 700 without a rail. Most custom actions run $1100-1500 depending. The bonus to a 700, no wait time! But is it really what you want? especially if you have to go find a donor action and pay market value for it. Chris Benchmark Barrels [/QUOTE]
