Actions for build
Is a Rem 700 SPS action(blued) sufficient for a custom made gun? Are custom made guns usually/always built on 700 actions?

If you have it, fine. By the time you pin the recoil lug, true the action, add a rail, etc. Starting with something like the Surgeon starts to look like a good idea... -tINY |

Like the man said, you'd come out ahead by bypassing all the work that has to go into a factory 700 and obtaining an aftermarket action. My favorite 700 clone is the Stiller Precision Tac 30/300. |

I was looking at the stiller stainless predator. Does stiller make better ones suited to a stainless 7mm rem mag that will also be used for hunting?

I agree on the Stiller actions. A well made and tight tolerance Remington 700 clone.
Jerry is making our actions for us. The only change I made in his design was the addition of the modified AR style extractor which Jerry has incorporated into his actions.

Depending on what you are trying to create,you might also look up The Montana Rifleman web page.He makes a controlled round feed Win M-70 clone.He also makes barrels,and you can get a barreled action.Prices are reasonable
M-70 stocks,bases,etc are supposed to work Then another option would be the CZ.Brownell's sells them. Just giving you some options |

Ill probably go with a stiller predator action, HS Precision stock, Guillard Barrel and Shilen trigger.
