LAST EDITED ON Jul-23-15 AT 11:22PM (MST)[p]I was planning on lightening up my rem 700 mp lapua with a proof carbon fiber barrel. turns out the stock doesnt quite fit, so now im looking at a new stock. After going that far, i start thinking about just a complete custom build and got a rude surprise when i start looking at the price of custom actions. $1300? is there really $700-800 worth of improvement in a pierce or defiance over a rem 700? ive got two bone stock remmy's that put bullets in the same hole and group in a pie plate out to 800. im having a hard time believing that the extra price of the custom action is justified. the barrel...sure. anyone have any good arguments for a custom over a mod 700? aside from the trigger/safety issues of course.
