What’s the general consensus on using an older, 1980-early 90’s Rem action for a S/A build?

I have done three. A 204 Ruger, a 223AI, and a 20 Practical.

I had all three receivers squared, and slicked, to remove any binding spots. One bolt, I also had fluted just for aesthetics.

Aside from the action, everything else is higher end parts.

All rifles have excellent functionality and solid accuracy.

What’s a guy missing out on by not going with an expensive receiver?
