Joined this forum 6 years ago and have been trying to consume as much knowledge as I could. Want to throw a 700 together and sort of threw it on the back burner.
So I'm sitting on a 16.5" 700 SPS" .308. Threw it on a XLR Envy Pro Chassis. Only had the bolt threaded for a knob and dropped in a Geissele Super 700.
Plan was to just grab a blueprinted action and slap on a Remage barrel. But then this was when things began to dry up and they weren't as available.
I want decent build that I can be content with. I just can't leave things alone. It will just be for occasional range use. Probably a few times a year and work my way through things. So that if it's I enjoy, I'll take it further from there.
Since being inactive for a bit it looks like some new actions have surfaced.
Seems like with a la carte options blueprinted actions add up. Doesn't seem to make much sense to go through all that with a factory action unless it's a godly shop.
Couple hundred more and you could buy an entry like action. So I was researching and it just became overwhelming. Came across primary extraction timing after blueprinting and now I'm lost. So many blueprinting options.
Does it sounds like a good plan to throw on a Remage barrel on the stock action for now. I want to go as budget as I can, since a lot of my projects like this get tinkered with then just thrown in the safe.
Then consider replacing the action if I get more into it? Probably a Origin or EVOII. I'd assume actions like these would be considered trued and timed since they're made from scratch?
