I did not see reference to it being a donor rifle. But if its under 900 on the street, is accurate,and looks ok it will do fine to wack Bambis dad. In most people's minds it will still be a Remington, although it's not. Let's not throw it away before it's given a chance. Now in reference to your post, trying to turn a hunting action into a custom action is a losing proposition, I agree with you.

Yes as a rifle to use as is i would choose it over the rest actually. If you did want to upgrade later youre that much ahead especially with stocks, triggers, etc. id take a 1/2” remington over a 1/4” anything else when it comes to hunting off the shelf.

Good choice Dusty, now all you need is a good springer and a tin of pellets, lol.
 
I would purchase a 700 pre-1986 , much past that...Remington started getting goofy..
. people complained about remingtons try at marlin..hahaha..if you want to call it that .
There flag ship action the 700 was driven into the ground when they decided to surround it with junk..kind of like Ford does with there f-150...Best engine I ever owned..the rest of the vehicle was a joke..
.. I would never under any circumstances pay 2x the msrp. For a Remington..nooooo no no no
I will not support The (New) Remington..
My opinion any firearm produced sine them closing in NY ..should not be allowed by law to be labeled Remington ....that company just down right sucks..

In case you guys forgot

Gun maker Remington files for bankruptcy for the second time

The filing comes just days after the apparent collapse of talks between the company and the Navajo Nation, which reportedly was considering purchasing Remington's assets in a prepackaged bankruptcy that would have allowed the company to shed its liabilities.

These are (my opinions, your may differ, and im cool with that)..
But last time I checked if your gonna brag about being an American company...you better damn well stand up and act like one...
 
You would think that they would be aware of the issues that have deteriorated their reputation, and looked at ways to do away with those issues, they surely have to do something to make things to improve the image.
