I got to looking and thinking, why spend 600 for a rifle when Im going to put a new stock and possible barrel on it. So my question is where is a good place to purchase a 700 action or possibly barreled action in 308? Thank you.
 
Re: 700 action

Check the firearms sale section here. They come up sometimes, but you're gonna prolly spend 400+. Most people buy the rifle n sell off the parts. Sometimes faster and cheaper by the time you recoup your money. Might even be able to get a used rifle cheaper. Might also check gun broker.
 
Re: 700 action

honestly, the barreled action will be 50-75 bucks less then whole rifle, buy the rifle and sell what you don't want to recoup $$ after shipping and the ffl background fee it be cheaper to just buy the rifle unless you looking for a odd caliber

Just saying

after paying for shipping and all just buy the gun, long range shooting ans accessorizing ist cheep unfortunately

Re: 700 action

no that's a good idea but if your new to the game you don't go buy a Ferrari as you 1st car with your learners permit, start out with a corvette then build it to kick the Ferrari's ass

i understand the comparison is little unbalanced but stiller is worth the $$
 
Re: 700 action

Unless the cost of the ferrari is not much cheaper. Then you do...

Basically build a Remington blue printed gun and you will have with in 300.00 of a custom Stiller gun... but the good news is it will hold its value, where when you shoot the remington you just lost 1000.00....
