[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2978863, member: 73596"] My advice would be to list the features that you are after, or are considering, rather than listing actions. My experience with these listed, and others is that they will all act as foundations for a rifle that will probably shoot straighter than the shooter. Don't get too hung up on marketing hype. Tighter tolerances on a hunting rig aren't necessarily a desirable thing. Here woukd be the list of priority things for me: 1. Interchangeable bolt head. 2. Controlled round feed or not. 3. Less than 90 deg bolt throw (banging knuckles on scope in stressful situations with 90 deg) 4. Ease of feeding. So available magazine cuts for said actions so you can feed and shoot long for cartridge bullets. 5. 7PRC on a SHORT/MED/LONG ACTION. 6. Availability of shouldered prefits. 7. Rem 700 footprint for availability of parts. 8. Bolt head options. 9. 'Looks' related stuff. 10. Availability. [/QUOTE]
