Donald,

Does Jerry @ (SPF) currently make a Viper action with a right ejection port and a coned bolt?

no we dont. our only RBLPRE is the P1000 and it is not coned. We make the drop ports instead. With the sliding plate extractor we currently use in the benchrest actions, its hard to make a RBLPRE consistent. The drops always work. If you use the mini16 extractor like our predators use and the P1000, then it works good.

We made a few in the old days before the drop with the sliding plate and had a lot of time in them. We made a sako extractor RBLPRE Diamondback for Tony's rail. I guess it works fine. He has received a load of hall of fame points using it.

Thanks for the heads up Jerry........
 
Well, maybe I have a collectors item. It is #22. I just know that it has the bolt face that lets one pull the BR and the PPC cases. It has seen so many rounds thru it......it is slick as snot. It has also been pressure tested a few times by the current owner and has never had a hickup. Even though one time it drove the extractor into the cone of the barrel breech and I never found any of the primer. Jerry builds one da#n strong action. I would not own anything else.
