[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1623551, member: 68875"] It is an R700 action. That is the 4th build off of it now. Started life as a .308 from the factory. I bought it used about 20 years ago from a pawn shop. Turned it into a .22-250. Burned that barrel out after about 1500 hot rounds, and built a .250AI. Burnt that barrel out in about 2000 rounds and completely changed everything and built a 6.5SLR 15.5# heavy target rifle. Finally burned that barrel out in over 2300 rounds, and rebuilt about everything again to the 10.5# 6.5SLR again. Only 60ish rounds down the barrel so far, but it is going to be a tack driving Hunter. [/QUOTE]
