In Montana there are two more bolt action manufacturers (Lawton is in Dillon, MT). Glen Harrison founder of Nesika Bay has returned to the trade as Definace Machine, http://www.defiancemachine.com/ - there is a new company based in Missoula, Snowy Mountain. Snowy has just released their first actions and is working on a website.

Defiance Machine - Glen Harrison formerly of Nesika.
Alot of custom gun builders have him machine their actions for them.

300 MAG,
I don't think that I will buy that. Stiller produces more customs than probably all of them combined. He is the shop that produces most for the custom builders.
Another top notch receiver is produced by John Pierce in Michigan.

butch,
With all respect, I don't understand your comment?? I just listed Defiance Machine in addition to all the action builders that HaYen listed in his original post. He already had Stiller listed.
FWIW, Defiance Machine makes actions for the following:
GA Precision (GAP)
SkunkWorks Precision Rifles
Nighthawk Customs
Louisiana Precision Rifles
Bansner Ultimate Rifles
Jense Precision Firearms

Wouldn't mind having a G30 or the new G30 with control round feed and 3 postion saftey, A little pricey for me though!

Thanks folks. I'm looking to start a project later this year, but inclusive of the staple of factory donor actions, I wanted to see who else manufactures actions.

All custom actions aren't created equally.
Choose wisely!!!!!
Barnard is my only choice.
