Most accurate action? rifle?
I've read that the remington action is one of the best most accurate to build a rifle from. Are push feeds generally more accurate than controlled feed? If you were building a custom rifle with accuracy in mind what action would you use/start with? remington? sako? other suggestions? HS action? weatherby mark v action?

RE: Most accurate action? rifle?
I like remington personally and chose it for my custom rifle. I have no reason to change so wouldn't. Main reasonwas familarity with the m700 action, had the action already, andconsideration was given toease parts/price (beingM700 is themost popular base or action to work off of).
Controlled feed are typically favored indanagerous game applications.
It boils down to personal likes more then anything else. Why build a off an action you don't like???

I'd find a good deal on a used Remington 700 rifle. Find one that has a crappy or broken stock, bad barrel, etc... Just make sure that the action is in good condition. The gunsmith will refinish it any way so don't worry about what the blueing looks like so long as there isn't any major rust or pitting.

for 65 dollars more they will even square the action and lap the lugs. all of their barrels are already laped.

MY most accurate rifle is built on an FN Browning commercial Mauser action (CRF), and it doesn't even have a speed lock! But it will shoot groups like this, if I do may part!
