[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2924157, member: 106514"] They are button rifled. They do not mention what has changed/improved from the 99 version of the action, but looking at it and reading their manufacturing process, it's NOT the weight!! 7 1/2 pounds with a beautiful walnut stock isn't too heavy by any means, but like the Model 70 action, that thing looks SOLID! I'm a little bummed that I could ONLY get one in 6.5 Creedmoor at the moment. Think I'll give them a buzz Monday. I mean honestly, I don't think it will be a better action than Zermatt, ARC, Defiance, or other aftermarket CRF actions. Wouldn't be surprised if tolerances wouldn't support pre-fits (but I also wouldn't be surprised if they WOULD!). It's just that small-batch production and that WOOD!! Who makesa beautiful wood stock anymore on a high end rifle? Weatherby... who else? Sauer, Mauser, Steyr on their mostly European models that would run more than $3000 here? After that, it's hiring Accurate Innovations to craft you one to fit what you have and that would start at about $2500 just for a decent piece of wood. I know chassis are more accurate and carbon fiber is lighter, but MAN I'd love to have just one AA+ - AAA grade wood on a premium action that weighed under 8 pounds and would kill houseflies on my 100yd target for under the price of a decent whitetail or mule deer hunt! There's Cooper, but they're steep for a model with great wood! Then the question is which is better the Cooper Wilson barrels or the new 2022 barrels made in Michigan?? No one knows... YET. [/QUOTE]
