I've read that the remington action is one of the best most accurate to build a rifle from. Are push feeds generally more accurate than controlled feed? If you were building a custom rifle with accuracy in mind what action would you use/start with? remington? sako? other suggestions? HS action? weatherby mark v action?
But for the price, you would be better of going for a Stiller or other custom action...

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.

I like remington personally and chose it for my custom rifle. I have no reason to change so wouldn't. Main reasonwas familarity with the m700 action, had the action already, andconsideration was given toease parts/price (beingM700 is themost popular base or action to work off of).
Controlled feed are typically favored indanagerous game applications.
It boils down to personal likes more then anything else. Why build a off an action you don't like???
I'd find a good deal on a used Remington 700 rifle. Find one that has a crappy or broken stock, bad barrel, etc... Just make sure that the action is in good condition. The gunsmith will refinish it any way so don't worry about what the blueing looks like so long as there isn't any major rust or pitting.

the remington 700 is a popular action for customs because, they can easily be made to shoot well if the smith is competant, and there are loads of aftermarket parts available.
Any bolt action that is stiff enough not to flex under fire can be made to shoot well, maybe just not as cheaply.
And a stiller action is identicle to a trued and accurised 700, same footprint and all,

Negative! Push-feed actions are NOT more accurate than CRF actions. Probably the MOST ACCURATE actions are thos made specifically for bench-rest rifles, and many have a solid bottom to their receivers.
MY most accurate rifle is built on an FN Browning commercial Mauser action (CRF), and it doesn't even have a speed lock! But it will shoot groups like this, if I do may part!
