[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 431581, member: 2011"] Defensive Edge (Shawn Carlock) builds all of his Edges on Rem 700 actions. As long as you are sticking with a RUM size cartridge head its not a big deal. Especially as said above, you already have a 700 action to donate to the build. However, the resale value of the resulting build will be much less than the same build with a custom action. I don't know why but that's the way it is. The custom action arrives already trued which means the cost of the Rem action, plus truing is saved. I have one custom on a Rem 721 action, one DIY non custom on an untrued Rem 700. Both are good solid consistent 1/2 MOA shooter. One cost about 1800 the other about 800. I couldn't sell either for squat. I have a super hooty build coming with a Bat action and all the pieces equal to it. It's a once in a life time build and most probably my last. It will maintain its value regardless of how long I have it, much much better than the other two. Plus it will shot as well or better. [/QUOTE]
