Sheister,<P>Well, I think if Doc ever looks back here, we (all the posters on this thread) have pretty well covered this topic.<P>I forgot to mention that I agree with you 100% with the value of our custom rifles--they just don't do so well, unless we find the right buyer. That's why I build them as tools and do not sell them.<P>I too have sen many factory rifles shoot as well as customs, but they usually don't clean as well, which is a factor when you shoot a lot.<P>There are NEVER any hard feelings between you and me!<P>BTW, I'm pretty sure you can have that 375 Ack barrel cut for a M-70 action. The 700 has one of the larger thread sizes.<P>Blaine
