[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 476102, member: 13285"] Mark, They are definately a cast action. No web based reports on the failures that I can refer you to. Just investigation reports from gunsmiths down here that have been conducted at the request of the NRAA when a rifle blows up. Its a well known problem down here. The local gunsmiths will not touch a howa action other than a straight forward rebarrel job to a standard calibre. If it fails then they might be blamed. Seems that failures [B]could[/B] have something to do with gunsmiths opening up the action to fit a larger barrel tennon. The front of the action blows out on one side and the barrel heads West! Standard calibres would be Ok but I would not be taking too much metal away from the front of that action. [/QUOTE]
