[QUOTE="duster, post: 155657, member: 8543"] I was wondering if any members have had any experience with either of these. I know that A-Square used the P-17 action in their Hannibal bolt action rifles, but don't know what kind of accuracy was obtained. The Hannibal was chambered in some pretty potent calibers so I have no doubt that the action is strong enough for a 338-378 or a 338 Lapua. About the only problem that I see is the lack of accessories and the cock on closing feature. I know there are speedlock kits availabe from Dayton Traister and Gun Parts Corp. to convert the bolt to cock on closing, but presumably no other trigger will work with these other than the Dayton and the standard military trigger respectively, neither of which is very desirable in my opinion. Stocks are another area where there is very limited selection available. The only synthetic I am aware of is Bell& Carlson and that is a classic hunting stock. So I am interested in feedback on the suitability of the Enfield action for a long range rifle before I put a lot of energy into overcoming these obstacles. The other thing is the use of Douglas Preium barrels. I am aware that Hart, Lilja, and a number of others are considered preferable to Douglas. Why is that? I have had several rifles fitted with Douglas barrels and every one was very accurate. Just wondering. Thanks [/QUOTE]
