    used Rem 700 action vs. new custom action

    I'm not clear on this so I ask for help...what do I gain buying an old Rem 700 for the action & then pay my Smith to true it & then fit it to my custom build per say too just buying a new custom action & having spent almost the same amount. Other than just having a true custom rifle.

    Gunsmithing Picking a gunsmith

    Re: Picking a gunsmith I meet up with him @ his shop. He showed me some rifle work he has done & the groups they were putting out. Impressive as all get out. I will contact some of the clients he has had. Does impressive work I think thus far. Old clientele will make the final impression though.
