[QUOTE="gaps, post: 946972, member: 42344"] Yes and no. If you have the money buy a custom and don't look back. If you are on a tight budget, the Remington 700 action trued up will work just as well. Accuracy wise it will shoot just as well if trued correctly. For me my donor rifle cost $450. Selling all of the parts except for the action and bolt netted me $200. So really the action and bolt cost me $250. Then true it and we are back to $450. Pretty good price if you ask me. But yes, if you want the side bolt release, a better bolt, fluted bolt, firing pin assembly, extractor, name, resale value and all of the other goodies that come with the custom, then buy the custom. I just couldn't afford and didn't need all of the extras for my first custom. Same thing with my stock. My pillar bedded H-S Precision stock isn't a McMillan, but it is just as accurate. I just couldn't afford the McMillan. The stock and action were the two places I saved some money without giving up accuracy. [/QUOTE]
