Custom action

[amassi]

Who makes the custom action similar to a sako? 3 lugs, short bolt throw ~*60?

Mesa summit is 75 degree bolt lift. Pretty sure they’re two lug though

Curtis. I don’t own one or have a ton of time behind one but my limited experience impressed me

Not 60 degree less than 90 though, but you could add arc to the list. I’m leaning that way for my next build.

K.S. Arms is another.

I own a Curtis. I have no complaints.

Terminus and Curtis

Fairly certain I've narrowed it down to one of these 2

Terminus kratos lite.

Defiance AntiX

Is there any appreciable difference between nitride and dlc?

Which cartridge are you going to chamber the barrel?

 

[amassi]

A belt less 1:8 7mm mag of some flavor to toss 180-195 grainers
7 saum or max for now, possibly 7prc when it's rolled out. I also have quite a lot of 7lrm brass left over so that's always an option. Likewise I recently read a thread on here about 7-300 wsm. wouldn't turn my nose up about going down that road either.

You sound like me and the 338. Every time I decide which one to build someone recommends something different and I start over!

Go with the 7saum. It’s sexy.

 

[amassi]

The only reason I'd grab a max over a saum is there's adg brass in stock today.
I have 54 pieces of Remington 7 saum brass left over from my model 7. No telling how many firings though I didn't keep the log book on that one.
I suppose I have plenty of time to source some brass most of these actions are quite a ways out anyway.

Unfortunately they just had a run of 7saum and it sold out in seconds. Not sure when they will make the next run. Probably winter.

Fair enough. I asked because if you were going to build a 300nmi, 338nmi, or a 338lm, I have heard from a couple smith's that the Terminus are not ideal for those.

Another action you can check out is the Pierce Engineering Shadow action that Ryan Pierce of Piercision Rifles has.

I just did paperwork on a Shadow today, real nice action, can’t wait to get it built into a 22 inch 30 nos.

Pretty sure the antiX is a 90⁰ bolt throw. I recently had this same choice to make and went terminus Apollo Lite. No regrets whatsoever.

It is
I vassilate on the shorter bolt throw, most of my rifle have 54-70* bolts but a 90* throw isn't a deal breaker

No plans on a big boomer, just a moderate boomer.
That's a pretty slick action, price super competitive

I'm ignorant about this little bit-

"All Pierce actions feature the Pierce enhanced Firing-Pin Assembly (FPA). Faster lock time (2.3 milliseconds) and lighter strike (4.3 in/lbs) results in easier bolt lift and reduced disruption when the pin hits the primer."

Is a lighter strike a good thing?

Interesting topic that i'm surprised never gets brought up.

Just dry firing my tikkas compared to m700 customs, it is pretty easy to notice that i'm more likely to see the crosshairs move when the tikka firing pin drops and it seems to strike quite a bit harder. I also seemingly need to be on my game with tikkas more to shoot similar groups. The flip side is it's probably not great for reliability but hell if I know where the line should be drawn. Seems reasonable to assume that if the firing pin disturbs the sights on a dry fire it would do the same before the bullet is out of the barrel.
