Can someone tell me about tier 1 vs tier 2?

I would call Chad or someone at LRI tech support and have them explain the pros/cons or benefits of each tier option. Let them know about your action serial number. Since it’s an RR, very strong possibility the bolt will have to be re-timed for proper extraction.

Once you know the exact services and costs, add that to what you have invested in the action. For instance, let’s say you have $450 in the action, and the LRI custom work costs $400. You then have $850+ tied up into a Remington 700 action. Should you ever decide to sell, you will not recover the costs spent, and your LRI blueprinted 700 action will be worth $500. You can buy a custom action for less than a $1000 and it will still be worth 90% of your investment.

I’m not telling you how to spend your money, just giving you several options on what works best for you. Pictured below is a Kelbly Atlas tactical action that includes the recoil lug and picatinny rail. I’ve seen them priced for $950.

Good deal brother first step is to know your plan and then do the research. Once you become more educated on the services and the available options, you can then begin buying the components for the custom build. If you need any assistance on where to buy barrel blanks, stocks, triggers, etc ... holler back and I’ll help point you in the right direction

Can you email me? I spoke to lri and wanted to pick your brain if that’s cool.

This guy knows his stuff.

IMO, go all out because you never expect to recoup your cost, or leave the rifle alone, spending money on practice ammo to shoot more, instead.

If I want to customize a factory rifle, it’s only with aftermarket parts, up to and including a new barrel. Machine work on the action is a bridge too far. Ymmv.

Are you Cajun Blake on Texas Bowhunter?

I thought so. “Blaze”, and the precision rifle knowledge all sounded familiar.
