[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 1975372, member: 83259"] I’m sure some will disagree but In this day and age I find building off 700’s pretty much pointless with the action options that are out there today. Let’s say you pick up a donor for 400 bucks. Now you have it blueprinted (300.00 ish) or you decide to put in a PTG one piece bolt (311.00) or have a side bolt release installed, get the bolt times, or have a mini m-16 extractor Installed, or get the bolt fluted etc. Pretty soon if your not careful you end up with a 1000.00 action that still says Remington on the side. You can buy a Defiance Tenacity or Bighorn Origin for less and have much better resale value and more then likely a better action. Or find a deal on a Tikka and spin a prefit 6.5 PRC on it or have your Smith chamber you a barrel in 6.5 saum and pretty much match .264 wm performance [/QUOTE]
