[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1334868, member: 27307"] You don't explain clearly what you want to accomplish with this rifle. The 215 Hybrid is a Match bullet not meant for hunting while the other two, one is for hunting and the other could be both. Sure you want a custom action but is this for hunting, target shooting or a compromise for both. Once you determine your choice there, you can proceed with looking at the actions to decide about the attributes you need to perform. Your hunting and shooting environment contribute to the decision as well. Some of the custom actions are actually tighter which require being kept cleaner than others which have a slightly looser fit. Like using Jewell triggers, I carry some form of liquid cleaner I can squirt down through the trigger when needed. Your custom action can require a little more attention than the typical factory offerings. A little lube on the back of the lugs goes a long way to preventing galling. After that, the world of custom actions is yours for the taking. I've used every single action named with one exception and I don't have a use for it so I can't comment. Some I have used by the dozens and others, a few at a time. I don't find any drawbacks to the [U]basic function[/U] of any individual action so long as you stipulate the use. I don't agree with using a Benchrest action for a hunting rifle without some discussion ahead of the build. Each of the actions has minuscule differences between itself and all the others. That's what makes them unique, otherwise they would all be exactly the same and you could simply flip a coin. Do some of the legwork yourself and visit the websites, then talk to some of the people that use these actions to get their opinions. Regards. [/QUOTE]
