[QUOTE="dmoon, post: 1631262, member: 99729"] As with any change there is give and take. I still love my old 40X actions, and don't see any benefits to the new "custom" actions that I typically use anymore, but the new customs are "easier" to come by. Carrying forward with this discussion its going to be hard to compare apples to apples. I don't think that cartridges favor this discussion, as they are mostly marketing gimmicks (in my opinion) and even that has pros and cons. "New" machining and production processes do allow for higher quality parts to be made, and they are available to anyone who wants them.....but their cost has gone up higher than anyone's cost of living raises. CNC equipment and new coordinate measuring machines allow guys to hold tolerances with ease that were considerably harder/more time consuming to attain even 15 years ago. I like the abilities of "New", but as a Remington fan you can have the new stuff, and as a guy who absolutely does not like Savages, I have to say their new stuff is better than their old (to a point, mainly talking 1970-1990). This is an interesting topic OP, can't wait to see all the responses. Keep them coming guys. [/QUOTE]
