The price for the Sako would be less than getting ahold of a Remington and having it blue printed, but is it worth saving a few bucks?

My question is this, I was looking to build a new rifle for F-Class competition and was pretty much set on a blueprinted Rem700, so would I be better off with the Sako or the 700?

Chester's Hunting & Fishing has Rem 700ADL actions for $340 delivered. I called them just yesterday. Remember the Rem 700 is the small block chevy of bolt guns. Smith's love em cause they are easy to make shooters out of em. The Sako 75 is excellent also though and probably better quality, just more in price I thought. Chester's phone # is 516-696-3800. sure-shot

To me, the simplicity of the Mauser 98, Model 700, Model 70, and M-77 Mark II actions simply can't be beat.
