Having a discussion with a friend who insists they are the strongest actions ever made. I used to be a big fan of them and still would not pass on a Howa Made Mark V chambered in 257,270 or 7mm weatherby , however their inconsistent quality with their US made Marks leaves me cold. I have had more issues with US made Marks and never an issue with Jap guns. WHat say you? Personally I think they need a redesign , lighter and with a 3 lug action.
