[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1895321, member: 113501"] I have a couple ARC actions. They are nice but I can't comment on the quality of other actions, I just like the features and quality that they have. I consider the Archimedes action to be the flagship and it is in the $1,400 range but for a short action or competition rifle, i think the $1,000 Nucleus does 99% as well. They are nitrided for corrosion resistance, they have bolt clearances that are loose while you cycle and tighten up when you close the bolt, 3 lug interchangeable bolt head, dual cocking cams, controlled round feed, Mauser inspired claw extractor and Springfield style ejector with a bolt stop that is incredibly robust. The Archimedes has all that plus an integrated recoil lug and a pivoting bolt handle primary extraction that makes extraction so powerful that it will remove any stuck case or rip off a huge piece of its rim trying. In my mind, that's great for pushing the limits in the biggest Magnum chamberings that will fit the action. I'm going with 338 RUM. I dont think the ARC actions are aimed specifically at competition so while they do pretty well, they dont have big numbers. I do know that you could do worse. [/QUOTE]
