[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 96021, member: 10"] BH, Did some looking around more and found out some interesting things. All of the receivers you mentioned except the Lawton(could not find a web page for them) will require you to buy a trigger assembly, magazine box and bottom metal before the receivers are ready for use. Now these things will run between $250 and $500 depending on what brand of componants the customer decides to use. Even Bordens web page stated these receivers are not built to the same tolerances as their BR receivers. Stiller lists $650 for a "bare" receiver so you will push $1K easily by the time its ready to build on. FOr about 80% of all big game hunting the Rem 700 trigger can be tuned to work perfectly well. Plus if you order the receiver in the appropriate configuration, it already has the bottom metal and box magazine ready to go. Sure you accurize it and add a striker assembly but your still under $700 in most cases ready to build on compared to more like $1000 for these receivers and thats if they do not need any accurizing. If they do they will be $1100-$1200 easily depending on what needs to be trued. I will say that these can split the difference between an accurized Rem 700 and a receiver such as the BAT or Nesika Bay receivers. For that there may still be great value in using them but I do not see the value over a properly trued Rem 700. Good debate and topic!!! The more receivers we have out there the better!!
