What do you think of custom actions like the Barnard, Pierce, Stiller (sorry if I have the names wrong) etc vs buying a new Remington 700 and having the action blueprinted? In terms of the economics, I see the Remington would cost me a rifle ($550 SPS to say $675 for a stainless) plus the blueprinting, vs around $1,000 and up for the custom actions that are certainly superior to a factory remington receiver and I'm not sure if they are as good, or better than a blueprinted action. This is for an application of target shooting, and the receiver accompanied by a top end stock and barrel.
Is there anything I should know that goes beyond saying they are comparable, but two different paths?
