Jamie, John hit the nail on the head on what he said. If you dump a lot of money into a Rem 700 to customize it you will NEVER get your money back. If you can save a bit, sell a few items that are not used anymore, you can find a real nice used BR rig if that is what one is looking for.
I did a Rem 700 6BR as my first build. I am very happy with it but, if I took all the money that went into it I could have had a VERY NICE used BR rifle. I know I can sell the action as the builder would buy it back but there is all the other money that went into it and it is still not like my custom build.
Don't mean to rain on your parade but be aware that if you do a semi custom you do it for yourself.
