If you look at custom actions from an engineering standpoint, the advantages against a factory action, and this is not to say all factory actions are this way, is that a custom is machined so that EVERY ONE is the same as the last….barrel thread timing, headspace from shoulder/lug or whatever mating surface is used and the lug recesses and bolt lugs all measure the same.
Mass produced actions that are not necessarily machined in CNC lathes/mills, cannot be held to the same tolerances.
There is nothing to say that a trued action of ANY flavour is NOT going to be just as accurate as the most expensive custom action out there.
As long as everything lines up perfectly perpendicular to the bolt centreline and barrel bore, it doesn't improve any, no matter where it's origins rest.
As to Win Model 70's and their recoil lug, properly bedded, it is actually a good thing for accuracy. Mauser actions can also be made to shoot very well, may not be BR quality, but still 1/4 MoA capable.
Cheers.
