Thanks gentlemen for all your input. I'm going to stick with a factory Remington 700 barreled action. I checked into what you guys were saying to learn more about magpul and see that their polymer PMAG AC magazine is half the price of an AICS magazine and is designed to work wherever the AICS magazine works. The $129 flat PT&G bottom-metal pictured in my OPost has worked fine for me with a 5 shot AICS magazine in a 6.5CM rifle I built 8 years ago. So, I'll just buy another PT&G flat bottom-metal along with 10 round pmags that I can use in both rifles.
I want a rifle that shoots consistent 3/4" MOA 5 shot groups. I prefer 1/2" to 5/8" groups with handloads. Remington 700 gives me the most options with riflestocks I already have on hand, and most smiths also work with the Rem700 if I choose to rebarrel for accuracy.
