Thanks. One of my friends did mention he thought the quality of Remingtons wasn’t what it used to be. I am not knowledgable enough to pick out a used action and know that it’s great quality to build around. All my other friends do build their own but I’d rather not bug them with my ignorance. I do appreciate all the advice and hearing why someone prefers one brand, caliber, spec over another. It’s been a big help to me. You will not see me at Camp Perry any time soon :-)
Today, you see all that trademark camo paint on most new rifles, etc, all of which has led to less attention to quality machine works. Instead, they cover it up the crude workmanship with lots of heavy paint and cosmetics.
what ever you chose to do, have lots of fun doing it! That's what it is all about in the long run. And if anarchy does break out, you can take your attackers out before they even know you are there. (Priceless)
Have a great day, and thanks for the great thread FRiend!
