I have the itch for a 338 WM build. Who builds a good CRF action? Thanks

Can't go wrong with any of the Zermatt (Big Horn) line up. They feed like butter and are a Controlled Round Feed.

I'll second this, I too am a CRF fan and use American Rifle Company actions for all 6 of my customs as well as several more through family and friends. I have two Mausingfields as well as at least one of each of his actions and they all work flawlessly.

MRC 2022 RECEIVER
The all-new MRC 2022 receiver is a continuation of the original MRC 1999 receiver which is conceived in part from the pre-64 Model 70. Our controlled feed receiver is one of few on the market that is 100% fully machined from a 416 stainless steel blank. This provides the ultimate in precision and reliability.

I have thousands of rounds through my big horn tl3 and it's been flawless. Interchangeble tooless bolt heads and firing pin removal, savage thread, remington screw pattern, and triggers are easy to install. They have medium and titanium option now too.

Zermatt/Bighorn all the way. Arc right behind that.

He's going to need a long action. ARC completely stopped production of their long action Nucleus when they designed the Coup de Gras. Ask me how I know!!! I had one paid for after careful research only to find out a year later "they ain't none!" Had to have my barrel re-cut for Kelbly threads since it was the closest to the inlet I'd had cut in 2 carbon fiber stocks! I like the Kelbly ok except for the force necessary to eject a fired case, which adds precious milliseconds to the time needed for follow up shots. That and the fact it came completely slathered in release agent. Had the bolt release cemented up! No fault of the action or Kelbly there. It's also not CRF, which hasn't mattered with Short Mags (yet). That said, if you find one lightly used they are suppose to be great actions. Make sure you can still order parts like bolt heads.
Last time I talked to them they said they wasn't getting rid of them dang it lol I know they also got rid of the Archimedes action. I have a arc nucleus gen 2 long action that I will be posting up for sale very soon. I switched to a 300 norma

I have a couple of Bighorn/Zermatt TL3's and an Origin and all have been great and reliable. With custom actions like all the ones mentioned above you really can't go wrong, but I have been really happy with parts availability and compatibility with the Zermatt stuff and its just easy to work on.
I believe Defiance also makes CRF actions. At least in the past I saw a lot of reports of people having reliability problems due to tight tolerances when the actions got dirty during "match conditions" (PRS shooters trying to act hard). Plenty of people swear by them, but I don't see them talked about as much on this forum anymore after they hiked their prices a bit.

Bighorn TL3. I have a lefty short action and use it with a heavy barrel and TT Diamond trigger for PRS during the spring and summer and then spin a hunting barrel on with a TT special trigger and drop it in a hunting stock in the fall. Bold maintenance and changing bolt heads is super easy.
