Without knowing what your trying to achieve, e.g. ultralight weight, lightweight sporter, medium weight sporter, long range sporter, SA, LA, Mag, etc..., I’d add Borden Alpine and Kelbly Atlas to your list.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what did it cost and are his CM actions cheaper than the SS?

It is a stainless MRC 99 action with one of their hand lapped barrels (21 inch long, 1 in 12" twist), then put together in a Serengeti Stockworks AA Leopard pattern stock, checkered, bedded, etc by Serengeti (now Kilamanjaro Rifles.) It is a .358 Win and it shoots groups under 1/2 inch often enough that when it doesn't, I know it is my fault. For some reason, I just always wanted a .358. I also have a MacMillan Edge stock that I bought from Rick for it as the Serengeti stock is just so pretty. �That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy.

Maybe the action when compared to a Mausingfield or a Defiance, but the Kilimanjaro stock alone costs more than most full house custom rifles. l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what did it cost and are his CM actions cheaper than the SS? I bought it long ago, but think around $1250, which is reasonable if you figure it comes with trigger and bottom metal. Roger Vardy, my walnut stock supplier, wants it and will probably get it.
