[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 959829, member: 22069"] I've had my fill of shoddy QC from Big Green. Over priced for what you are getting and over rated, especially given the alternatives that are out there. I can see why gunsmiths and machinists like them. Job security is a nice feature. If I were planning to build something chambered for a standard cartridge or one of the 30-06 length magnums, I would go with a current production (FN made) Winchester Model 70. I don't think anyone is making a better action right now. I really like the 3 position safety and the action is the smoothest I have seen on a production rifle. If the plan is to go big, I would build on a CZ 550 Magnum action. It is beefy enough to handle the larger case heads of the Lapua class magnums and up and has the mag length to feed the big stuff loaded long. No aftermarket mag box needed. You get a very nice factory trigger in the bargain, too. [/QUOTE]
