The 7xx's lack CRF, safeties in the firing pin
CRF is over-rated and not required by most.
many supposed 'crf' rifles fail to function as true CRFs.
Firing pin safeties also overrated mostly because muzzle control is the most important
and only trustworthy safety measure.
Why, have actions from billet failed you?
You could put a billet and forged action next to one another (both machined and final finished to the same high spec)
and nobody would be able to tell the difference visually or functionally.
machined metal of upscale work
I don't consider the drilled bolt handle on the mauser as upscale work.
I doubt any respectable custom shop trying to keep their name would either.
