Best Pricing for Remington 700 Actions?

The stiller is just fine for a remington replacement- they work well. And it really doesnt matter what threads they have you have to put a barrel on it either way. 16,18,20,coned bolt, flat bolt, recessed bolt- it just doesnt matter so get the style you like

I already have barrels to install. The beauty of the premium prefit.

Premium prefit is an oxymoron

You are becoming predictable... I knew you were going to post something to that effect, if not that exact statement. It's kind of your thing...

Premium prefit is not an oxymoron... and all shouldered barrels shoot amazing no matter how crappy you make them.

Its all in the standards you have i guess

You know what they say about opinions.

Especially opinions on things of which you have zero experience.

I thought I should add I talked with my gunsmith and discussed buying a used 700 bdl 30 06 I found. For 50 dollars less than a new stainless action from NSS.
Let's just say he sounded less than enthused!
Hes the craftsman in this and I'm the customer. Who am I to argue with him?
I'll just make sure he has what he needs to do his job, and leave him alone to do so.

Bc'z, we live fairly close and wondering who your smith is ?? PM if you'd like

Stillers start at somewhere around a grand I think. A benchrester friend who makes bullets suggested that if I wanted a custom action with a Remington footprint that something from Borden, Batt or Kelbly would be the way to go.

He is wanting to use remington prefits so he cannot use those since they have 18p threads as opposed to 16p on remingtons. I personally like the savage style flat face bolt for prefits so that leaves us with the 20p actions for prefits like mausingfield, savage, etc

I was looking for a single shot custom that is compatible with the Rem/Age barrels. There are very few.

Just ordered a LH, SA Remington action from Buds. Have two recent Remington actions and they have been pretty good. For me as a sling shooter I don’t see that I would do better with a custom action ( smoother probably but as to affecting the score I don’t think so). Get three Remington actions for one custom.
