[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1358410, member: 55944"] Yes it is cast as well. I just built a custom 250savage on one and there are several things that seem to make it problematic in the precision game. One is there is no way to ensure the bolt face is square with the rear of the barrel. Mine is canted a couple thousands and there is nothing, short of machining a whole new breach block, that can be done about it. Second is the method for attachment of the forend it makes it impossible to float the barrel. Third is the way the firing pin spring works it loads and unloads spring pressure off the hanger of the forend. This makes the whole forend vibrate when the trigger is pulled. Since there is no way to free float the barrel this is something that effects every shot. But they are very beautiful and my favorite rifle in appearance. If all you want out of a rifle is moa then it can be had with a ruger #1 but if you are wanting 1/4 moa it’s best to go with a bolt action. [/QUOTE]
