Hey, guys, I have a Proof 6.5 barrel blank that has been sitting around for a year now. I had planned on replacing the barrel on my GAP but it is still shooting lights out. So now I am thinking about just buying an action and having another stick put together. I currently have an AI and Manners stock I could put it in and also kicking around trying Magpul's new chassis and either put this build or one of my other rifles in it.

But anyway what would be the top 3 choices for a rem 700 pattern right-hand action for a 6.5? I want reliable and smooth. I kind of like the throw of an AI but not required.

Thanks for the input!
 
Mausingfield, TL3. Nucleus. Origin. Axiom. Atlas. Impact. Deadline.

what features do you want?

60 or 90 degree throw?
controlled round feed or push feed?
plunger or manual ejection?
integrated recoil lug?
savage prefit barrels?
AW or AICS mags?

Mag fed
AICS or AW I have both so I am indifferent
I am open to throw, faster would be better as long as it locks up well
Ejection: indifferent, just want reliable
recoil lug: Indifferent, not sure if there is a pro or a con one way or another
why would I want a savage prefit barrel? Is this even possible using the Rem 700 platform?

A lot of the Rem 700 clones take Savage prefit barrels
