If you're OK with spending north of a grand, there are plenty of custom actions available. Here's a few:

https://www.kelbly.com/product-category/in-stock-actions/
https://stilleractions.com/custom-competition-actions/
https://www.americanrifle.com/shop/product/mausingfield-bolt-action-2
I'm also a bit soft on the Remington 700. Not the action, the bolt -- in particular, the brazed-on handle and riveted extractor. You can sometimes source new stripped 700 actions from Midway or Brownells, which when mated to a PTG bolt seems a more solid choice to me:

Just a thought experiment for me -- I'm not even pretending that I'm in this class of precision shooters.
