It's his personal hunting rifle 7mm Allen Magnum 160 gr Accubond @ 3414 fps [B][U]Rem 700[/U][/B] Lilja #3 SS 1-9, 26.5" Finish length DE 1/2" brake HS Precision sporter stock, green with black web HS Precision DM system Tuned Rem 700 trigger Leupold Mk4 FFP 3.5-10x 40mm w/ TMR reticle Anything packing rifle Weight: 10.0 lbs ready to hunt with He goes on to say somewhere that its better to use a custom action because they have much tighter tollerances and can be taken to higher pressures. So this would lead me to believe to take full advantage of the AM use a custom action. He does state that he doesnt feel the need to take his rifle as hot as others do though. It would be best to ask him though.
