[QUOTE="Crews, post: 1488344, member: 83626"] For real world practicality, I think it's REALLY hard to beat a $500 Tikka action. I don't think much else is really needed. However, if I ever get anything different it'll be a Bighorn. Versatility out of a single action is the key... you can invest in a single action and have several different barrels/calibers/bolt face sizes. Buy one stock, action, and scope so it's the same no matter what. Get different bolt faces and barrels and swap depending on the need. The tolerances are apparently so tight you can get shouldered barrels that will headspace without having to send the action back to the smith every single time, and POI is repeatable every time you reinstall a barrel.
