I have a light weight barrel Rem 700 22-250 that is to be the basis for a prairie dog/casual target gun. After adding up the expenses of new barrel, stock, action truing and trigger it could easily exceed the cost of a Cooper. I'm wondering how much money it would take to bring the Remington up to or exceeding the Cooper's accuracy level. Anyone else been down this road or see a flaw in my thought process,occurs often as pointed out by my wife)? I've ruled out the custom action route as just too expensive. I figure I might be able to sell the Remington for+/- $400 if I don't use it as a basis for the project. Thoughts?
