I am curious about the PT&G also? Anyone have one?

hey guys, 280 AI anyone have the data for a 162 grain ELDX using Retumbo? Also, what is a good online source I can buy or subscribe, to get all this data? I have a couple old books that are outdated.

Jack Lyon actions at Thompson Leh $800 with a 20MOA rail and lug That seems like a good deal compared to these other ones. He said the raceways are wire EDM'd that's a bonus also. Anyone have one of these? what do you think of it?

Thanks Phillygunner I just called them and they are around $1,400 with a rail and lug.

Thanks everyone for the response's. I've only dealt with Remington actions so far because of the cost. I couldn't find a site online that listed all the different manufactures. It looks like I will have to get my check book out for this build. I'm sure no matter what custom action, they...

thank for all your weiser advise buddy. Happy I have you to ask questions

LOL you got that right. I was wondering if we were stuck paying that much or if there was cheaper options. I'll be making some calls tomorrow to get some prices.

LOL yep, you got that right. two of the guns I build so far I used a brand new rem action that I paid $360 with the trigger and they shoot really good. The others I bought a used Remington and just chambered a new barrel on it. that shoots good too. I'll make some calls tomorrow and check...

That's what I was looking for.....Thanks I'll make some calls tomorrow. The new Remington actions I bought come with a trigger. I've never paid $800 for a stock. $150 for triggers, and over $400 for fluted barrels. I've done my own gunsmithing so far. PT&G reamers have worked great!

Thank you. I never heard of Kelby I'll call them tomorrow

Stiller is looking like my best option. Thanks

Hi all I want to build a 300 Norma Mag and I'm inquiring about different actions. I have built 4 different rifles now, using Brux barrels and Remington actions. They all shoot under 1/2" It looks like the 300 NM, I will need a bigger action? What are some options that are better priced then...

Thanks blackdog. That's what I was wondering. I didn't want to buy a gun and spend all my time blueprinting and chambering. And find out I need a bigger action. How do you like your 280AI? What is the fps your getting with it? I have about four friends talked into building one instead of a...

Thanks guys I understand the history with the 280. I just thought the round might be too long with the VLD bullets. My 6.5 x 284 would not work very good in a short action, so I thought it might be the same with the 280. I think the parent case for 6.5 was a short action? I built mine with a...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and to long range shooting.....I've been reading for a couple days now. great website! My question is ........ I want to build a 280 AI and I was wondering if a large Rem 700 will work with the longer VLD bullets (168 grains)? or do I have to go to the magnum...
