Was just looking over the Bugholes site and noticed there is no Predator or Tac 30 and 300s listed for sale .
Anyone know if they are phasing out Stiller actions ?
I can email Greg, but I though I would ask here first, just to share info with others.
Thanks

Call Stiller Actions at 972-429-5000 and ask. Talk to Dale Trout who owns Stiller action or ask for Russ who is his right hand man!

Seems I hardly seem a custom build with a Stiller anymore. Just a few years back it seemed like every custom build was on a Stiller

I bought a tac30 from Bugholes a few years ago. Bugholes is great, the stiller is just average. Wouldn’t even consider a stiller again with today’s options.

I've only got one Stiller and never been around anything else in the custom world. Normally just play with 700 actions....

When Bugholes had them in stock they were an easy choice if you had an idea and wanted to build something right now. I have 4 rifles built on them and you would be hard pressed to make any of them any more accurate than they are with the Stiller. Lots of great options out there today, but there are no flies on the Stiller actions.

I've built several on Stillers and they were all good.

I emailed Bugholes finally.
Russ, Said they don't stock them because Stiller's are not selling like they used too.
