[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 648131, member: 2736"] I have built many long range rifles on the Mark 5 action and they have all shot extremely well. I will say that they are best suited for the big cases (378, Lapua Etc with large bolt faces) so if you are looking to build something with a magnum or standard bolt face a smaller action would be fine. But if you already have several Mark 5s and want to build of them, as long as the bolt face is not larger than the cartridge you want to build. I would say Have at it. Remember the action is there to hold the round accuratly in the chamber and almost any action (custom or Factory)will do that if it is properly sized and smithed. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
