    I'm with this guy, the actual action and barrel don't really make much of a difference. What does is the stock, the trigger, the scope, the suppressor and the accessibility and usability of the sling/bipod mounts and mags etc.

    I really hate most of the cheaper factory triggers especially the ones with smooth slippery blades. They always get biffed and upgraded to something with a ridged and not slippery trigger even if they work fine... The factory stocks are never perfect, always on the upgrade list to stiffer, lighter and foam filled butts so they don't ring like a drum if they tap something. Very hard to find the perfect mag setup, Rem suit my purposes with the side release and long enough to seat a little further out than factory but others hate them - personal choice. I do prefer detach mag, just easier come unload time.

    I have not yet found an off-the-shelf factory synthetic stock that ticks all the boxes on any brand.
