Wow we are fortunate to have some great smiths nearby.  Didnt know Benchmark did builds thought just made barrels. And didnt realize Shawn Carlock was local - that guy wrote the book on .338 Edges.

You can get a brand new Rem 700 long action w/trigger for $350 delivered. 

From where?

Grabagun dot com has them for $342 + $7.99 shipping

They also have Rem 700's in ADL with a cheapy 3-9x40 scope for $349-$388 depending on the caliber.  You can usually get 75-100 bucks for brand new take off barrels, depending on what they are chambered in.  The scopes probably aren't worth much, maybe $50ish and those ADL stocks are usually garbage but still you take $388 minus $125 for the barrel and scope and that takes your action, trigger, follower/spring, down to around $225-$265 which is a pretty cheap setup to start your build.

I bought a couple Rem 700 ADL Varmints in 22-250 at Cabelas for $399 this past winter.  Sold both take off barrels for $125 each.  I'll likely end up throwing the plastic stocks away unless I find someone that wants them and I have a pretty cheap action to build off of.

Rbros all the way.

From what I've heard, all of Benchmarks barrels are very good, but, I also think there is probably no less than about ten different barrel companies that make extremely good barrels.

I've had customs built with many different custom barrels.

I've had three that are spooky accurate. The Benchmark .338Edge, the Obermeyer 7mm WSM and the PAC-Nor .308 Baer( .30-.340 Weatherby Magnum Improved).

I can help you out for sure if you're interested, I runHells Canyon Armory. If starting from scratch, it's hard to go wrong with a Remington 700 receiver with PTG bolt. After blueprinting and TIG welding the new handle on you'll be into a very nice reliably extracting action for about $650. Barrels can be $325-$750 depending if you want non fluted steel, fluted steel, or my carbon barrel with benchmark blank. Stocks, brakes, triggers, bottom metals can all be priced out using the google machine depending on what kind of setup you want.
I charge $250 to fit a barrel to an action, $125 for timing/threading a brake, $150 for pillar bedding, $175 for cerakote if desired.... if interested let me know! I guarantee half MOA and the guys at benchmark as well as a few members on here can vouch for my work.  Thank you!

@b23 do you remove the barrel from the action yourself when starting with a complete rifle or do you have it removed?

On the most recent two, while I was dropping off one of the actions for my gunsmith to build of off I had them spin the barrels off for me.

Benchmark barrels are top notch. I am running 4 and been super happy with them. I also run a few pac-nor and Krieger and have liked them a lot as well.
