Thoughts on remington 700 long range

Why are your costs irrelevant your comparing your Smith to others, so what you can get done is not what the average Joe can so let's compare apples to apples. And yes a custom is a custom not semi custom. Defiance, Bat, Curtis ,Borden ect. all have what I described so for arguements sake tell me what you can get a 700 done for what I described or let it die.
My costs are irrelevant because as I stated, I have known my smith for years. He cuts me a good deal. Significantly cheaper than what he charges some random stranger.

That being said, PTG is offering built and blueprinted actions for about half of what a custom is... http://pacifictoolandgauge.com/actions-barreled-actions/17059-premium-ptg-rh-la-b-52-standard.html
 
Ya I feel pretty retarded right about now
Why? The odds are not always in everyone's favor. How many times in your life have you gotten lucky on something? How many times have you been unlucky? If you're like me, the unlucky FAR outweighs the positive enough to realize that life is not a game of luck. We're never given more than we can handle.
 
Where are all the big green lovers now? Talk about how great Remington is, guy buys one and it's garbage. And now all you want to talk about is the price of a smith? Remington has been a joke for a long time now and it obviously isn't getting any better.
Typical... Nothing positive to add, just standing back waiting for the crap-show to talk crap about Remington. Everything factory is a crap-shoot...Including your beloved Salvage.
 
Thing is I dont like to be limited. I found out even with my savage I was limited on my options. With Remington the sky is the limit. I think it's just a better deal than buying just the action and having to collect parts. Atleast I can shoot this one as I go and probably cheaper in the long run unless something is bad wrong with the rifle.
I have two of them. First was the .30-06. Changed the trigger, bedded it, and cerakoted it. Next was a 300 WM that got the same treatment. Very happy with both.
 
So I'm tossing around the idea of rebarreling the browning as long as I can get it back. Only issue is I cant find any stocks for them. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

McMillan makes stocks for a couple xbolt models?
Boyd's pro varmint is modelled on the a5 and similar to the hmr stock
 
Well we have an issue. I'm being told I cant take it back and I'll have to go through Remington. Which seems utterly retarded since I never fired the weapon. I'm going in person in an hour with the rifle and will try my best to get my rifle back. What's the rule on this?

I was told a person can only return an unfired rifle. So shouldn't be a problem. They probably don't want to be stuck with the warranty work. If it was a perfectly functioning rifle I bet they'd take it back easier

First off I also said the LR worked out for a friend so it's unfortunate that this happened. And it is up to the store but man I would think they would work with you since it's obviously not your fault. There may be ways to force your shop to take it back. But it might be easier to speak to Remington directly. In the past their customer service had a rep for being very good.
