[QUOTE="Txhillbilly, post: 1477960, member: 22844"] I've been using Savage actions for years on many builds,they work well but do have a few flaws with the extractor design. There are easy fixes for that,and once done,there are very reliable actions. While the Savage action isn't very smooth when new,they break in very fast,and can be operated with one finger easily. I built a rifle last year with the Shilen DGR action made by Stiller. It's a great action,smoother than the Savage,but since it uses the Savage bolt head design,it has the same extractor issues that a Savage action does. Once again,this problem is easily fixed. I'm still waiting on my LH ARC Nucleus action to get shipped to me,so I can't personally comment on it. From what I've read,and watched on video's that guy's have made,the case doesn't come up high enough when it clears the magazine feed lips to be captured by the Nucleus extractor. Once the case starts to enter the barrel chamber,the extractor grabs the case. So you basically have a push feed bolt until the case head gets to the front of the ejection port,then it becomes a controlled feed. Ted's a pretty smart guy,I'm sure he will come up with a solution for this. [/QUOTE]
