Sitka Gear Optifade Cover

Action?

Sure, you can replace the tikka trigger, but why though?

$10 spring replacement and you have one of the best, most reliable, triggers on the market.

And mags are mags, unless one doesn’t feed reliably.
I like aics mags - mostly cause i can use what i already have but i see your point. This all pieces together for a real nice semi custom rifle for pretty cheap with a tikka.
 
I like tikkas and i love my savage but neither would be my first choice to "build" off of - for the price of the rifle to use as a donor action you can almost buy a decent custom.

Stainless lite tikkas have been available for low $700s for a long time. Pretty cost effective with mag and trigger included. More so if you use the existing 22-250 barrel. If not, there’s a market for tikka take off barrels as well so nock another $100 off the cost.
 
I misunderstood your post - I thought you meant total cost of finished custom rifle, not just action.

As for ditching factory bolt/trigger/mag - if that is the case then you can get tikka stripped actions for $300.
But - theres no bolt ?
 
Just make the list of parts you want - google them - add it up. No matter how you piece it together the tikkas will be half of the Rem customs.
My first custom was on a Tikka and it was easily 2/3 the price of my full custom 700.

ETA and I did all the work on my own since they accept prefits
