[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 243284, member: 1522"] TAC, The montana actions are actually cast and not machined. I don't know enough about casting process to say if this is good/bad or indifferent when it comes to actions. I've heard and read very good and very poor reviews about them and they are pricey. I know a couple of top builders who have already told me they wouldn't build the rifle I want if that's the action I want to use. That why I'm looking for another option. I'd hate to invest that much money to find out I've got a poor quality action. I could easily find a LH Win Model 70 rifle to work from as it would solve a lot of my problems. The issue is all LH Model 70's came in WSM calibers. I've been told the bolt face can't be changed or modified to fit a standard .243. If someone knows anyone who can convert a WSM bolt face I'd like to know. Thanks, Jeff [/QUOTE]
