[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1575411, member: 27307"] It has nothing to do with the chassis. The flat bottom on the Surgeon was designed that way long before the chassis became popular. Like the Winchester Model 70, the flat bottom actions are stiffer than their round bottom brothers when bedded. You can use any the actions mentioned, Stiller, Pierce and Surgeon. I am a fan of the big Surgeon but I've seen the Pierce "Thumper' and I might be persuaded...;) Yes, standard stocks can be inlet for these larger actions as most are plenty wide enough. Stay away from the ultralight stocks as they shave material off the width to save weight. This is a generality of course. Unlike so many others, I pay no attention to Wyatt's box offers as I much prefer to use detachable magazines for simplicity. I can load 3.850" and never worry about feeding or bumping the nose of longer seated bullets. However, if BLD is your cup of tea, run with it and call Wyatt's to be sure of the box you need. Three of the top tier barrel makers are located in Wisconsin; Brux, Krieger and Bartlein. All three will make the larger diameter barrels and will charge you more for the larger diameter material. Enjoy the process! [/QUOTE]
