[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 599350, member: 1007"] For a custom build using a 'factory' action, the 700 is as good as they get. The bolt and the action can easily be chucked in a lathe unlike many other factory actions. There are parts and accessories galore. That said, by the time you get a 700 trued up, heavy recoil lug, upgrade the firing pin, etc......you can typically get a custom action for nearly the same price. Maybe a couple hundred bucks. In some cases, three+. The Bordens, Templar and Stillers are all competetive in price. Even against a dolled up 700. +1 on the 300 over the 7mm. Better bbl life, bigger hole, higher BC bullets etc.....The downside is to get better ballistics over the 7mm, it takes heavier bullets which in turn offers more recoil. Everything comes at a price. No matter which direction you go. M [/QUOTE]
