I've used a 300wm built on one for the last year or so and have shot a moose and 3 elk with it. Here is my take: The tri lock thing for the recoil lug is novel but makes it where the action face can't be checked for square without cutting them off. Also the bottom notch in the recoil lug has to be filled with clay, etc to prevent bedding from seeping in. The rest of the action is nice but it would of been better if they would of stuck with 16tpi or 20tpi like the Remington or Savage rifles IMO. It has a coned bolt so you can't use a Remington barrel on it anyway but you could use a Savage pre-fit if it was 20tpi. They are a nice action for the money though.
