Thanks for your input. It's my understanding one of the benefits to the reduced size of the lugs is that it allows a CRF action to fit in M700 footprint and capitalize on M700 parts and accessories. I have a M98 and I've always thought there was way too much meat on the lugs. I gotta' think...

He explains his thinking on the bolt knob design on one of his videos. I don't recall ever seeing any other manufacturer try to explain the features and benefits of their knob design. When I first looked at the picture on the website, I never gave two thoughts to either the bolt handle or...

What part of the action do you consider to be dumb? Which part of the bolt is a joke? I (and others) will appreciate specifics. As to knobs falling off, I assume they allowed the screw to loosen to the point the knob fell off?? Seems to me that would be called "user error". Regardless, I...

Customer service?? FWIW: I used the contact form on the American Rifle Co website and asked a question about the lugs on their action. Ted (owner/inventor/President) replied in less than 30 minutes with the answer. Contrast that to my customer service experience with Montana Rifle Company - LOL

If you watch, he (Ted, inventor/President) did a video specifically on the bolt handle and knob. He put a boat-load of thought into the design. The idea being that as soon as you pull the trigger, your finger comes out, your hand goes up, and you catch the knob with your finger and work the...

You poked fun at their name is why I thought maybe you didn't like them. You gotta' admit, the ambidextrous, reversible M2 bolt and folding stock is innovative. I want. "Yeah-yeah...I was triggered when I saw the seamless, ambidextrous integration of the bolt and stock on the M2 - the...

Tell me why you don't like mouserfield - I'm here to learn :)

A good smith could fix that...at least they don't promote it as "tacticool".

and why drive a Mercedes when a Chevy will get you from here to there for a lot less $$...but make no mistake: I hear ya' loud and clear :)

Thanks for the heads up. Apparently I went to the wrong "Bighorn" website. My first impression was the Bighorn logo on the shroud looks rolled-in, over-sized, and beyond cheesey. It was difficult to see past that, but when I did, I generally liked what I saw. I spent most of my time at the...

Thanks for the input. I'm not too concerned about the customer service - sadly, employees who don't give a crap seems to have become the norm. I used specs from the MRC website and sent an RFQ on an action to one of the dealers listed on their website. I never got a response so I...

If they do, it's not mentioned on their website.

I understand the need to keep things somewhat loose. The Professional Hunter rifle I looked at was lightly used in 338 Lapua. The bolt acted as if it required a cartridge in the chamber to find its' center. And if it all comes together in alignment and shoots good, great. I'm no gunsmith...

Why did you choose the MRC action and would you do it again? -------------- I used the contact form on the MRC website and asked all of my questions - never got a reply. So I called them and asked if they ever got my request - the guy couldn't tell me. So I asked the guy on the phone all...

I want to build a 6.5CM (or so) hunting rifle. I'd like to use a CRF action and was wondering what brand action might be best. Montana Rifle Company offers actions only, and I was able to look at several MRC's short, long, and professional hunter actions (on factory rifles) recently. The...

Indeed it is. I'm please to read the OP had an excellent experience with Borden. I'm considering a rifle build (my first), and basically know nothing about anything. The Borden website not only claims machining accuracy, but they list many their specs. I don't know too many br...

I appreciate hearing that - I will consult you guys (and listen) as I get further along. I'm not certain I even have the time to fool with a new hobby - I sure don't have time (or money) to waste on a bad rifle.

Well...oddly enough, my objective with the barrel nut system is not convenience in changing barrels - I don't see myself wanting to do that `til the barrel is worn out. The barrel nut system (in my mind) was/is a hedge against poor workmanship and fitment on the action, the bolt, and the...

That's the info I was looking for - thanks everyone :)

I've looked at the chambering instructions for the Panda action, and this is the type of precision machine work I am hoping to avoid by using a barrel nut. Is a barrel nut action not a good idea?
