I’m real surprised no one mentioned the Kelbly Atlas actions. Well under $1000 and excellent in every respect.
Shoot straight, shoot often

Your right bob, my smith said the same thing on my last 700 build I did a .22 CM on an Origin. Smith never even saw the action. Pretty good place to be when this bbl gets smoked. Never smoked a snout, but enjoy collecting bone/fur... guess if I shot a lot it would be handy....

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

A lot of great suggestions on this thread. I had forgotten about several of these actions and I'm always looking to build another rifle I don't need.... now if I can just find time to shoot the ones I already have....

The new 700 actions are pretty true from the factory but primary extraction/bolt timing is horrible. Easily remedied though.
Gunwerks GRB action is a solid choice and run smooth. Interesting. I had a long conversation with Dan Armstrong from Accu-Tig, last week. Rem S-prefix and G-prefix actions are the worst of the bunch. The newer RR-series, especially those that have the QR code engraved on the under-side of the receiver are MUCH better according to Dan. That said, they do need some attention, but not nearly as much as the S or G actions. If you want a properly timed action, then Borden is your best bet according to Dan. I'd have to go with Dan's opinion - he seen over 12K actions/bolts in his time.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

The new production M700’s actions are very good and can be had for $325+.
That’s what I’d do, and spend a little with the gunsmith to get it trued/squared up.

I bought a Tuebor Raider action several months ago. I really like it. It is a 700 footprint with a 70° bolt throw and a fancy ejection port.

Looking at doing a custom in 6.5x47L and would like to go full custom, but would like to keep the action cost at $1K or less. Also, for ease, would like to stay with an action, in the Rem 700 footprint.
Who makes the best one, in that range, and who has the best prices? Either the Bighorn Origin at $840 shipped directly from Zermatt Arms or Kelblys Atlas at $895 from https://bulletcentral.com/product/kelbly-atlas-tactical-action/The Origin is currently running at 3-4 weeks turnaround but should resume to 1-2 weeks once season demand is quenched in a month or two. I ordered an Origin in early May and it was ready to ship the day after they received my order. Also, if you do go with the Origin send them your trigger and have them time it to the action before they ship to you. They charge $50 for this service. The Triggertech's are nice, they should have a two stage trigger for release soon. Regards, SD
