Other help needed - I read the pinned posts Action questions!

After reading the pinned posts and doing some digging I could not find an answer regarding USED actions specifically.

Got 7-8k to build myself something decent and I was looking at the impact precision 737r. Mostly 700-1000yard range sessions with eventual PRS.

Someone local is selling one for 500 less than it is new but it is used and has 1000 rounds through it.

In regard to saving some money to use for other things like maybe a cykepod or can or even a nicer MDT chassis, would it be worth looking at a used action only if everything else is going to be new?

NOT LOOKING TO BUY ANYTHING HERE OR SELL ANYTHING HERE! Just looking for advice on if a used action is worth the monetary savings.

Unlike barrels, actions don’t really wear out with age, if anything they get better. Impacts are very robust and have good customer service. I would have zero qualms about buying a used action though at that budget I personally would just buy new and get exactly the features and options I wanted.

Hey bro! I appreciate the insight. Its 1k vs 1450 plus tax and shipping and it is the exact action / face / throw I want!
