a good bolt gun doesn't wear a factory stock.
You ever get the M1 figured out, I think Paul is back, I need to remind him if you didn't figure it out yet.
Costs more to get a Rem trued? 200 for an action in the end, between 250 and 500 to true and what good custom action are we buying today for 700 ish give or take? You may well be right on this issue.
How many actually need a custom action?
Not trying to dis anyone, but looking at the campfire shooting thread, most everyone could get by with factory gun, floated and bedded and the right loads would do as well...me included lately.
Back to Viking, who cares what name is on the gun. Who cares what it looks like. Go to a show or shop and try them all, then buy what fits you best. If you are worried about cosmetics, then it really doesn't help to ask here, as it then needs to be what YOU want it to look like.
Performance is what it should be about.
