[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 414306, member: 2215"] Either action can be a perfect candidate to be accurized. A lot of smiths today would prefer to work on the Remington 700 as it's a solid yet simple action. The Winchester is not much different but does take some different knowledge and tooling to work on. You stated you wanted to just accurize one of these rifles. Which in my definition is doing as much to the existing rifle without having to re-set the headspace.
