[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 592102, member: 2693"] One of my 7mags has a 24" #4 Shilen. AFTER I sent 2 actions to Shilen and had them true them and add barrels (the other is a 300 RUM), I started to hear mixed comments on Shilen bbls and how they had kind of gone to pot after Ed left. So naturally I was disappointed to learn that my 2 first "customs" ever might have crap barrels on them. Turns out they are both shooters and I have another Shilen bbl in the safe in 7mm waiting to do something with it (hopefully this year). I also emailed a custom action manufacturer and asked what his components of choice were on his personal hunting rifles. Surprisingly, he said a Shilen bbl. So, I think you are safe with Shilen. BUT, my button rifled barrel of choice is Hart. My 2nd 7mag has a Krieger. As to actions: well, BAT is a phenomenal choice, as is Borden. If you want slightly less expensive, go Stiller. I have 2 Stiller actions. What I may do with the Shilen tube in the safe is order a Borden action and build a good ol 280. [/QUOTE]
