Has anyone used these on a build? I'm curious what the quality on them is, considering they're billed as "blueprinted".
- How tight are the tolerances?
- Do the lugs have full contact?
- How's the overall machining?

I know this is not a custom action, but I'm optimistic it will require little to no work.

I like that I can add small customizations like bolt fluting and or bolt knob/handle to the action prior to shipping.

I picked one up a few months ago but I am not sure the ones they are offering now are the exact same package. The bolt is snug and will not fit in other actions so I assume they reamed the raceway. I lapped the lugs and it cycles a bit smoother now. Mine is a 223 bolt and the action was originally for the 308 size. I called them and they said this was "normal". I couldn't get it to cycle great with a standard box but switched to DBM and it feeds slick now. I don't know if I'd do it again and might just go stainless factory for about the same price.

I just put together a 300SAUM on one of these actions and they are as nice as any blueprinted 700. The raceway is reamed to .705 dia and a PTG .701 bolt is used. The
handle is threaded for any bolt knob style you like. They have a Rem Pro trigger, you can get any mag style you like, detachable, BDL or ADL. Action face and locking abutments are true and perpendicular, threads cleaned up. No it's not single pointed, but I defy you to show that it shoots any better with that. Spend the money for a custom action if you want that. For the money this is a screaming buy!! And I am a custom gunbuilder and make my money doing this, Do not have any hesitation, BUY!
