Same "foot print" but the quality of the PTG bottom metal is a crapshoot. After the stainless one I bought, I won't buy another.
I have heard about the PTG crapshoot before...can you elaborate on the issues you encountered with their bottom metal?
I’ve had several PT&G units where the inletting for the forward action screw was too deep... you’d snug up the screw and bind the bolt! Their solution was to cut the screw... my solution to them was machine the damn things consistently.
That co just sucks... the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.
that last line, sort of sums up what most rifle folks think of them locally, here in the Rogue Valley..
they are located here, over in White City...
on the other hand, I've taken stuff over there directly, and they have taken the time to find something that fit what I needed at the time...
Dave Kiff the owner, has a reputation of being kind of screwy....
