[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1364578, member: 87243"] There won't be really any difference in accuracy between a manners EH-1 stock and the B&C stock, the B&C has a full bedding block and the manners will have pillars, you would want to bed both of them. The two Rem 700 LR stainless rifles I have done load development for shot phenomenal for factory rifles. I live at 6600 ft elevation, one shot 168 Berger VLD's and the other shot 180 VLD's (both 7mm rem mags) and both are honest half MOA guns, I have seen both print half MOA or less groups out to 1300 yards. I see no reason why re-barreling with a quality barrel would do anything but improve this accuracy, without blueprinting. But, if you are going to the work to re-barrel, you might as well true the action. As far as a custom vs factory Remington, a custom is always going to have tighter tolerances. Your bolt will have a more precise fit, you will have options for different bolt knobs, you won't have to worry about primers cratering due to a sloppy fireing pin hole (sometimes happens in factory actions), and truing won't be necessary. If you were to have a smith fix these things on a factory action, you would have put in enough $$$ to nearly or completely buy a custom action. However, if I had the tools to do the work myself, I would intentionally get a factory Remington action specifically so I could do the work myself, as I personally enjoy doing work on my own rifles. With a custom action, you know your getting a precisely made piece of machinery. If the barrel is installed properly, and it is a quality barrel, that rifle WILL shoot well. A factory action may or may not shoot well. [/QUOTE]
