[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2292714, member: 10755"] All I can say is that, yes, it is personal choice. I have never built a rifle with a trued action that did not shoot to my standards. I have re-barreled actions without truing them that shot better than the factory barrel, so is it the action or the barrel inducing the accuracy? If it doesn’t shoot half MoA it doesn’t leave until it does. I build on Rem 700’s, which are the easiest to blueprint and true. Winchester Model 70’s and Kimber. When they were still in production, for Rigby based cartridges, I would build on CZ550 Safari Magnum actions. All of my comp guns are trued Rem 700’s, stainless too, I’m not a fan of CM. Sure, I like custom actions too, have built some comp rifles on BAT actions as they were the only actions available here. I like Borden actions and will be replacing my CZ builds with the Borden. I have a CZ action that is set up for a custom 338-416 Rigby Improved 45° that I will be replacing the barrel on soon, may go to a 33XC case instead, this would be a good project for a Borden….dunno, my mind isn’t made up yet. Again, it’s all personal choice, they all work. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
