[QUOTE="blacktails, post: 235059, member: 9954"] I'm finally starting on getting parts together for my first custom rifle. Out of the different makes of custom actions that are 700 clones, which one is preferred and which one is the best value? The rifle I'm planning will be a light carry, something along the weight and lines of the Remington Mountain Rifle, and used for deer & black bear hunting, and also for easy bench shooting. I typically shoot out to about 250 yards on game, but want the ability and accuracy to reach 400-500 if needed. Haven't decided on a caliber yet, but am leaning towards a 7mm-08 or another short action, and want to achieve 1/2" accuracy or better at 100 yards. So far I'm thinking: custom action Krieger barrel (22"?) Jewell trigger Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14 x 44 scope Stock similar to lam. Rem. Mtn. Rifle or possibly a McMillan marbled stock Besides mainly what action to consider, any suggestions to my list are more than welcome. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
