[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 602220, member: 1007"] Jason, I think you will find that custom actions are alot like custom barrels. The top manufacturers all produce a great product you will be happy with. This will boil down to which features are important to you. 1: Do you want a repeater? 2: Do you want an integral recoil lug? 3: Do you want an integral scope rail? 4: If not, do you want 8-32 base screws? 5: Fluted bolt? 6: Interchangable bolt knobs? I am looking hard at the Aztek Arms action. The recoil lug is integral with the action. For a guy who likes to switch barrels around, this is a good feature. Also, it comes in a version that is a bit longer than a typical short action. I can keep a fairly short action and run 208's out of my 308 with more powder and the 6.5x284 with heavy VLD's to their full potential without having to go to a long action. I will be in Phoenix on Friday. I will head up to Payson sometime in the afternoon. Saturday I might run up near Snowflake to shoot some prarie dogs or just shoot some long range. Who knows, maybe we can meet up and shoot. I was going to bring my bow for a few days of deer hunting but I dont have the time to get my bow dialed in and $$$ is somewhat tight and archery deer tags aren't cheap! I have a work conference on the 31st at the Ritz Hotel. I might even bring my 300RUM and get around to that double chrony test with the 178s I promised to do. [/QUOTE]
