[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2416511, member: 87243"] If you can find one with a similar lead time, I would also check out the archemides action....very similar, but an absolutely genius primary extraction design, that makes the only function of bolt lift to cock the firing mechanism, so smoother/lighter bolt lift, integral recoil lug (not a huge thing, but a thing nonetheless) and everything else the same as the nucleus, and only a minor step up in price. I talked with Ted a little bit, and I gotta say, the guy is an engineer first, rifle builder second, and evil genius third ha ha. I like the thought process behind his actions for sure! On the ejector system, ya it's no problem, like a ruger but better. You can creep slow and just tip the cartridge out to grab by hand so it doesn't fly in the dirt, or run the action fast and wing that sucker out there. Bolt knob is screwed on, so can be changed to lots of different styles. While I haven't had one, I have heard that rifles built off his actions have been accurate, I was comfortable spending my money on one (if it would have been lighter....) and I haven't seen any issues with them personally, but again, haven't owned one. The only reason I didn't go with the archemides on my new build is weight.....I needed a sub 28 oz action to make my goal on my build. So I ended up going with a Bat Vampire. More monies, but it was in stock at bullet central, and is a phenominal action. Speaking of that, here is a Bat HR long action, right hand, .308 bolt face actions, in stock, right now.....again, more monies, but in stock, and well.....it's a Bat, so you know it's awesome....
