What is the deal with these actions/barelled actions? How do they rate or would I be better off just getting a CZ 550? General opinions please..............

What are they offering now? How much?

I got in on the start up actions. That did not work out very well.

I have a buddy who has a .325 WSM built on one of these actions by Hill Country Rifles and it is a nice piece overall.

No problems with mine, bought a barreled action from them almost 2 years ago. Mine was a #3 contour. A bit on the heavy side so I had more work done on it this year to lighten it up. Otherwise it was a pretty good deal at the time.

I'm very happy with my two and their s/n are below 100. One is a 358win the other is a 350rem mag.

i recieved mine about a month ago still need to come up with money for my smith to true and blueprint and put the mickey stock on it.mine is a leftie 7mm stw 26 inch #4 contour 1 in 9.5 twist in stainless i can't wait to finish this one

I got a barreled action from them. Along with it being delivered late,they tried to increase the price after we had agreed on it.

The action was still pretty rough, and like tbear99, I needed to have the action worked on to make it barely acceptable.

I would not get another one.

If your a lefty, due to limited choices, they will work just fine. Just be prepared to spend more money to get it up to par, though some people have gotten lucky. If your a righty there are better and cheaper options.

I have three of the LH SS barreled actions in .35 Whelen, 338-06 and 6.5x55. Mine all shoot great and they were finished exactly like MRC said they would be.

I picked up 2 SS, SA during their charter special. One is a 25-284 and the other is a 350 Rem. Mag. Both are shooting well and no problems with either. Some folks have had issues. I happen to be 2 for 2... They are not lightweight and not as finely finished, but for a good huntin' stick, Good to go.

I also got in on the charter offering and bought a SA stainless that I had made into a 243AI. Maybe I'm not smart enough to know that it was rough, or bad, but I loved it. I dropped it into a Mcm stock and had a blast. That rifle was stolen and I'm still pissed about it.

I have a stainless short action mag bolt face that I'm thinking about selling. It's a charter offering as well. I can't figure out what to build on it as I have most chamberings covered that the SA mag action would work for. If anyone wants one, let me know......
