Bighorn actions

Has anyone seen or used one of these actions yet? I was wondering how they stacked up against the competition for ease of bolt lift , close tolerances, safety and weight as well as innovation of design?
 
My smith is really taken by them as he has bought a couple to try. He said they have the nicest tig welded bolt Handel job he has ever seen on an action. I am not so sure they are benchrest tight as he is using them as a tactical set up. Jon shoots a lot of tactical matches and does really well at it. he did say it may be a bit to tight for tactical but maybe a little to loose for bench. But heck i really dont know myself. We just talked about them a little on the phone. You know they have the floating bolt head. I really dont have an opinion on that feature either as i am just not educated that way. The floating bolt head really seems to work on savage actions, but one would ask himself, If it was properly built on a proper chamber is it really needed?? They look nice and with today's machines i am sure it is just fine. Please remember this is all second hand info to me, as i really dont have any experience in machine work, so take what i say for what its worth, and i will promise you, thats not very dam much. Good luck friend! Lee
 
I'm with skeet on this one, never seen one but if skeet's smith likes 'em that good enough for me. i thinking about saving up if i decide to buy one but that's preliminary for now! great thread Jack C
 
I've just seen and handled the action at Jensen Arms (Loveland, CO) and talked to Ray Sanchez (Thunderbeast Arms Corp.), who shoots tactical competitions, and he says it's the best action he's used. I like the action and am thinking about using one to build a left hand .223 Rem for my daughter. It was reviewed in the February 2010 issue of Precision Shooting. nhk
