[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 781612, member: 25383"] That $500 PTA action is a different animal than a 110 based action. It has the larger barrel shank to support much more weight. Used three vertical screws to bed the action. Is 3.2 times stiffer than the 110 action. The trigger it comes with will run with all the high dollar ones in most cases and the only ones it won't run with are the 2oz. triggers used in benchrest shooting which are border line dangerous. The PTA has a better bolt desin, faster locktime, and is far straiter than 90% of the gunsmiths get the others. But most of all it's that $500 price tag that is hard to beat. I can build a rifle off the PTA action ready to mount optics for about $1400 and shoot better than a 700 with another $1600 in it. But if I went a little cheaper on the barrel and stock, I could easilly come in at about $1200 (maybe a Pacnor and a laminate stock) By the way you can take that 110 based action, and mount a Ferrall base onto (bedded), and dowl pin it, and increase the rigidity about 20% alone. The single shot action is about 15% to 20% stiffer depending on who's data you use. Adding that third bedding screw is easy to do on a single shot action. The dowl pins really should be done in a Bridgeport. gary [/QUOTE]
