[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 846063, member: 17844"] Don't know that I agree on the Sako 85 . However it would be extemely hard to tell which action is the strongest without purposely blowing some up to test them , With many modern actions being investment castings the metal thickness is not a real good guide unless it's soild forged and machined steel and you know exactly what the steel is and it's heat treatment . Your right the barrel reinforce / shank is also a very important part of the action strength that has to be taken into account as to how big a diameter it is and how much steel has been removed from that to chamber the cartridge . It's a brave gunsmith that states which actions is the all time strongest without stating which diameter case is chambered in the barrel. I prefer the Sako 75 action myself over the 85 . [/QUOTE]
