[QUOTE="Canuclehead, post: 723263, member: 57733"] I can't access that page but obviously if the swede is bigger it could be loaded up a bit more. I have yet to find a new rifle in the gun shop that is as smooth as an old swede. The new technology and QC on hole has so much more potential today but labour costs really kybosh so much potential. Don't get me wrong the workers deserve the cash but so much fine machining just doesn't get done as much. The best action I felt from a new rifle has been a mauser action ruger, m77 I think. I was impressed enough to keep in on my list of possibles. The remington's seemed shockingly poor. I read so many accolades about them but when i cycled one I thought... what a ***. The mauser style actions are great but due to cost vs function I think the savage is the winning formula to start with. If I wanted to make a 20" tacticool rifle, how would I or could I keep the velocity up like longer barrels? Can faster burning powders be used or does that just make the accuracy go funny? [/QUOTE]
