[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 503903, member: 2261"] It depends on the use and where you live. I live in the desert and have been told by my custom rifle smith (2 of them actually) that certain well-known actions are made of a softer metal and that given the very dusty, windy, desert environment in las vegas the grit will wear the actions faster than normal. So I should avoid them in favor of actions with harder metals, like STiller or Barnard. For a tactical or magazine fed action I think that its hard to go wrong with a Surgeon or a Stiller. I've never owned a Howa or Weatherby, so I can't speak to them. My current actions in my gun safe are Stiller, Surgeon, Remington, Nesika (from Washington), Barnard. JeffVN [/QUOTE]
