[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 564237, member: 30902"] Yes it's a good starting point. It may or may not give you the necessary accuracy to get good results at long range as it is, but the 700 action is the same whether it's an ADL, BDL, XCR etc. If it's got a light contour sporter barrel then at some point you will probably want to rebarrel with something longer and heavier and when you do you get the action blue printed at the same time. Out of the box, just take it to a good gunsmith and get the basic accuracy job of lapping the lugs, pillar bedding etc and then see how she shoots for you. If you get to the point of needing to rebarrel, then just send the whole thing of to Krieger and they'll true the action and install the new barrel and you can ge tthe whole thing done for under 800.00. There are just so many stocks, triggers and other aftermarket goodies for the 700 action it's a great way to go for a guy on a budget that wants to do a lilttle bit at a time over time to get where you want in the end. Keep in mind you are getting a rifle ready to go hunting with complete for about the same price as an action alone. Not a bad way to start. [/QUOTE]
