    Tapered base for a Rem 541

    Is anyone here using a tapered base for a Remington 541. Currently my rifle is zeroed at 50yds which is also my max elevation. I have a ton of down but no more up and am thinking that an elevated base would get me where I need to be. thanks in advance dgwelsh

    I am gathering parts for my next build and am likely to be using another Rem 700 action as the starting point. Cost aside what are the thoughts between using a recent action vs an older action? Is there anything in favour of an older action from a metalurgical or original machining quality...
