I have a MDT ESS chassis I have been building up for long range work, might try some local PRS type shooting along with coyotes, etc. I was going to go with a full custom action and a Bartlein barrel, the works. I can pick up a complete Bergara Premier barreled action for about what the barrel would cost and less than half of the combined custom cost. I'm really considering just putting it together and shooting it at least for now. I have a couple of other rifle projects that could use the attention and funds.
My question, what have been your experiences with these? I know it isn't a custom action or barrel but for now at least, seems like a good choice. How do they compare? The actions I have felt are very nice even compared to some full custom stuff.
I would prefer a controlled feed but that really isn't that big a deal for this application. I would prefer a mechanical ejector. The barrel twist is a little slower than I would like at 1:8. It will take my Triggertech trigger and fit the MDT chassis. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Dave
