[QUOTE="AkBirder300, post: 2419723, member: 112870"] I have used 1. Kimber for CRF, bear gun, 375H&H 2. Pierce titanium for true ultralight 6.5 PRC 3. Christensen Arms, 300 wsm 4. Coming soon - teminus Kratos lite for a 300 WM. 5. Tikka 30-06. Definitely smoother than the CA. 6. Rem 700. Roooouuuugh. It was a newish one, felt like dragging sandpaper. Have a feeling I will prefer the terminus above all others because of the bolt throw. The CA is just not that smooth to me and I hate the bolt handle. Tikka was nice, but did not care for OEM mags and bottom metal. Kimber all the way if you want a CRF, the defiance option is crazy expensive to do the same thing. Pierce is fantastic for as light as it is, but it’s more of a specialty action in my opinion. I wouldn’t build too much larger than a 6.5 on a titanium action. There is such a thing as “too light” in my opinion. All depends on what is most important to you regarding ergonomics, bolt face availability, bolt throw, integral rail/recoil lug, etc. there are dozens of fantastic actions out there. I would say buy from a company like Terminus or Pierce where they are proactive about customer service, involved on sites like this, and willing to shoot straight with you on lead times, etc. many companies/smiths over promise and then don’t deliver when there is an abundance of customers. [USER=6152]@Joel Russo[/USER] can help you out for sure. [/QUOTE]
