The Defiance action with the long tennon is what GAP calls the Templar action.McMillian knows what that is....

Just as a thought Bob.
A M700 in a 222 bolt face is the cats meow for turning it into a 6mmPPC.
Yes never let a good 222 Rem bolt go to waist when you can have to smith open it up to the most accurate round ever.
Need to have a Sako extractor installed as well.
The PPC doesnt have the reach of the 6XC that is true.
But under 300 it has no equal for accuracy.
NONE.
Might be just the ticket for you Bob for a walk around carry rifle, play target rifle that will beat the crap out of the locals at the range with little tiny groups .....just sayen..

Only accurate rifles are interesting.
