[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2216459, member: 101859"] These actions really cool, aluminum body with a steel insert like a Panda. The teflon coating make them smooter than a steel action in my opinion. The timing is spot on right out of the box with the Jewell, and there is plenty of firing pin fall and energy. They come inletted for a cfe-9 wyatts box but I made a spacer and used a standard length cfe box for the saum case. After some tuning of the box and spring it feeds like butter. I bedded it into a McMillan game warden max (now discontinued), its a carbon shell with a version of edge fill that will take any caliber. It weighed in about 28 oz. These actions do have a lot of places to trap air pockets, so they are a little trickier to bed. I used a #5 Lilja 8 twist 3 groove barrel cut to 26". The bullet of choice is the 175 LRAB which should need at least an 8.5 twist to really shoot its best. Overall it weighed in right at 7.5 pounds.[ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0120.JPG"]278963[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0122.JPG"]278964[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0123.JPG"]278965[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0124.JPG"]278966[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]278985[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]278986[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
