[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 781194, member: 25383"] unless it's a race hemi stealing money out of every other guys pockets on race day. You buy that custom action like the guy the did the post on the other board. Spend high bucks for a top of the line Krieger barrel. Use the same reamer and the same headspace numbers, and shoot almost as good as the $500 PTA action does. What most of you here do not know is that the OP is no dummy, and a fairly well known benchrest shooter. You take that vaunted 700 action, and true it up (be lucky to be within .010"), put a nice Jewell trigger for about $500. Then you gotta fight it the rest of the way, cause you'll still be chasing that PTA. The PTA action is much stiffer, has a far better lock time, better case alignment to the bolt and bore, uses three screws to bed the action (all perpendicular the the centerline). You just can't make a 700 action run with the custom actions, but it looks like at least one production action can and will. gary [/QUOTE]
