Nothing wrong with a Hall action as long as you keep the lugs greased well. Aaron French shot a couple of teen aggs with one of his Halls at Midland last year. You don't see as many Halls being shot anymore as people have gone to whatever the current popular actions that are being shot. Allan Hall has also concentrated on building rim fire actions instead of center fire actions. There is a link to an article on the competition board to the full results of this years Cactus Classic. It has the complete equipment list for the whole match of what everyone was shooting. Strangely enough, the equipment list for the bottom of the list looked almost identical to what the top 20 shooters were using.
