Budget minded custom action

We get the 'trued commercial vs. custom action' discussion here (and on most of the other shooting forums I frequent) all the time. The same points are made, because they're good points. If you're capable of truing your own actions on your own or a borrowed lathe, AND already have the action in hand, then by all means, do it. Otherwise, you'll never recoup the expense & time involved in paying someone else to do the work.

Regardless of the above, people still are willing to pay someone else to do the work to a factory M700, M70, etc. I know this to be true, because they pay me to do it for them, even though I counsel them to buy a Stiller, etc. instead. I don't argue with them, simply because it's a good way for me to make a little extra money, and I have the tools to do a decent job.

Then there is the old saying "I hope that if something ever happens to me that my wife doesn't sell my rifles for what I told her I paid for them" (lol)
What a funny quote. I was laughing so hard that when my wife walked into my Man Cave she wanted to know what was so funny. I had to quickly make up something and not let her know what I was really laughing about. If she had read or I had told her your quote she may have gotten suspicious and started quizzing me about what I had really spent on my shooting habit.
 
I own 2 stiller receivers--one is on my f-open rifle, a predator right port right bolt single shot, the other is a work in progress--tac .408 1.6" right bolt right port single shot. jerry makes a fine receiver.
