i look at it this way...
stiller is $950.00
a stainless remington will probably cost you
action $500.00
basic true $200.00
flute the bolt $75.00
doesnt have a one piece bolt assy.
side bolt release $100.00
melonite the bolt $75.00
so i cant see using a remington when you can have a custom action that works smoother and retains better re sale along with the pride of ownership with a top grade action
Add to that another $50-75 for milling the receiver for an extended magazine box. You would take a real beating on resale value of the 700 action as well. Defiance has been mentioned. The Rebel is a 700 clone and runs about $100 higher than the Stiller. I haven't used a Rebel but have a Deviant and I am highly impressed with it. Have owned a Stiller Predator and the Defiance seems smoother and tighter to me.
