Jard J70 bolt action info

[Nevadajim]

Has anyone used the Jard J70 bolt action for a rifle build? If so what is your reaction to design and quality?

My gunsmith has some designed with them and has his own little twist. Once i have one to mess with ill let you know

Have built stocks for several of these Jards. Some like the 3 lug bolt, quality seems in line with the price.
I would not put on same plane as a bighorn, defiance or similar Best quality actions.
Their in house Cera coating was not great on the ones I had in the shop, but can't say if that has improved...?

Well, they are same price as Bighorn, so….

Fit and finish where absolutely terrible. Bolt would bind and barely cycle. I could probably go on buy why bother!
