Although a Remington action is a great action it is not a custom. They can be made to compete with the high end actions but they are not equal.There are many out there. Stiller, BAT, Stolle, Nesika and many others. I imagine a good trued Remmy action is going to be more accurate than most people can shoot. So ask yourself why spend $1300 on a BAT. Because you can
! The custom actions are stronger and the machine work is superior. They're just palin nice! I have a trued Remmy and love it and it shoots little tiny groups at a 1000 yards, so don't take this as a slam on Remington because It's not going to be for sale as long as I'm kickin'. As far as the question as to what is the most accurate action, I have to put a vote in for BAT. They seem to be the most popular custom action listed in the bench rest competition. Guess what? Remington by far dominates any factory action being trued and used in competition. It doesn't really matter what anyone decides once you enter the the bench rest scene it is like a bottomless pit. Find a second job because you may need it. It isn't a cheap sport

I do,nt think its the action that makes a gun accurate is the barrel and how its mounted to the stock

The Question was which is the most accurate Action. Not most field reliable. I wouldn't take a BAT Actionto the field under normal hunting conditions. That would be like driving a immaculate 63 corvette in a Blizzard. It could be done but why would you want to when the old reliable 4 wheel drive is sitting there.

(ANY kind of an action can be weatherproofed! Even a flintlock......)

Maybe for Benchrest BATs are the best. But get out in freezing weather, dirty, etc... and I bet it will lock right up on ya.
If you have a single shot black powder rifle that shoots well at long ranges but fouls badly causing jams and find yourself surrounded by Indians with repeating rifles, you'll lose your scalp every time. Likewise, you don't build a very precise 15lb benchrest competition gun to chase whitetails through a cedar swamp.
