Anybody have any experience?
I keep reading on the internet about quality control issues.
Then others say the are very accurate.

If spending that kinda money I’m having a real smith build me one
In the days of $300-$350 used Remington rifles laying everywhere I’d have agreed. Anymore, you’re going to be $300-$500 (or more) higher having the “same” rifle built, and far less re-sale unless you use a “well known” smith, which again, you’re going to pay a significant premium for.
I will take a machinist to build a rifle than a gunsmith any day. I have had a 22-250AI. 22-6MM AI. 6MM AI, 6MM BRX, 260 AI. 6.5 X 284. All built by two different machinist. They printed the 700 action. Threaded and chambered all shoot under.500 or better.
Buy a 500.00 Remington 700 action, a 350.00 barrel and pay 300.00 to thread and chamber. Either tune the 700 trigger or get after market trigger. And a good stock and your set to go.
So you’re $1400-$1800 (or more potentially) into the build depending upon what stock you choose, and depending upon if you need someone to bed it or if you’re capable of doing it yourself.
