[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 781592, member: 25383"] nice thing about the Winchester is that it has a flat bottom and relatively square side. I wish they'd kept the radiuses on the corners to about .05". They're fairly easy to make dead flat on the bottom side and sides. If you do that then you can make one hell of a bedding block that allows the action to seat on three points. I've done this twice now. Thier recoil lug is better placed, but could have also been done better. Their saftey actually works, but my two triggers were seriously suspect. I went with Timenys, and honestly, I have no love for them as well. Without actually dragging a Winchester out of the safe, and making a measurment; I think the barrel thread maybe also a little longer. The Remington 721 / 722 /40 would have been my choice for a 700 style action. There are somethings about them that are better. Even an old XP100 would be far better if the cartridge selected was short enough to fit in the action. (the old single shot pistol actions and not the newer ones) gary [/QUOTE]
