[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 95805, member: 12"] Kirby that is truly amazing that you sell at completely trued new 700 action for only $550!!! Mabye I misunderstood and you are charging $550 for truing and bolt sleeving on a customer supplied action, which would make more sense. When you consider any used 700 action sells for $350 and a new action from any supplier will cost $400 or close by itself (even at dealer)unless you buy a 700 from Walmart and still costs $375. That means you are truing AND bolt sleeving for only $200? Just exactly what do you specifically do on "truing" for only $200? I know you have mentioned that bolt sleeving is required for a real trued action in this thread, so that has to be part of the equation. Just where are you getting these cheap 700 actions? Have you personally looked and measured the Predator, Borden and Lawton actions? Are you talking some other action and assuming that the actions I mentioned are in that poor condition? That must be the case because I have never heard any knowledgable 1k or LR gunsmith before claim that a completely trued 700 is as tight tolerance or cheaper than the Predator and Borden actions. I guarantee that Jim Borden and Jerry Stiller would ask you to back that up with specific facts. You have made two extremely pretty bold statments and would love to hear the specifics backing them up. Matter of fact I will see Jim Borden later today at the IBS winter meeting will discuss with him. BH [/QUOTE]
