[QUOTE="arch408, post: 1646479, member: 59036"] I'd buy another gun or action. I talked to a Remington rep, and he assured me that the economy 700's differ only in the finish and stocks and are mechanically identical to the higher priced models. We use the cheap ADLs for donors in my hobby gunsmith class and have not had any issues. As far as quality contro, I have swapped barrels twice on M700s and they head spaced perfectly. Oddly, both times stamping on the barrels were exactly 180 degrees off. We lap the bolt to the reciever and face the reciever to insure that it is perpendicular to the horizontal axis and have built some nice rifles. Those ADLs are cheaper than most pawn shop prices.
