[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 501781, member: 24284"] The tolerances held by the custom action makers [I]far exceed[/I] what a 700 will ever be. That Surgeon is one of the 'heavier' of the custom actions. Many others are made on the 700 'foot print', but to [I]much better[/I] tolerances and specifications. Take a look at the Defiance and Pierce actions, not much heavier but [I]much[/I] higher quality! Even the Montana Rifle Co. action exceeds the 700 for squareness and fit. I build lots of rifles on 700s, but a custom action will always be my [I]first[/I] choice. [/QUOTE]
