I do have books coming on precision rifles but I have questions on actions. On gophers out at 500 yards what is the difference between a stock Remington 700 police action and others I have seen for up to $1650.00? I was planing to build my rifle a bit at a time as I had the money. But I have found used Remington 700 police for around $750.00 to $900.00 . Would it be better to buy the used 700 and change the barrel out later? Used actions seam to be as much money as a used rifle. I would rather spend my money on a good barrel and a better scope. If I'm barking up the wrong tree please say so.
thanks
