I have 2 MRC Charter CM Actions - one long 30-06 Imp and one short in 300WSM. I believe the short actions were produced first. The long is great - only had to adjust trigger tension and everything was great (my smith did have to stone both actions - as was always intended to smoothen the action).
The short action can't quite get the trigger pull without creep and the extractor would hit the face of the face of the ejection port on closing. Also if you short stroked a round the claw would not hold onto the round and leave in the port. Replaced with a Williams extractor and pronto instant fix for that and no longer hits the action either. Although my gunsmith fitted it, it was a drop in fit.
Other than that their actions have always performed fine. With good barrels they shoot exceedingly well. My only regret is fitting my short action with an MRC CM barrel - bullshit it has been hand lapped or that it is even close to match grade. More like a factory barrel and not a good one at that.

P.S. Now that this gun is done I have to say it is the best investment I have made. I made a choice of going for the MRC instead of fixing up and old Mauser ation for personal reasons and will never be sad. The action is smooth as glass and tight. It is a big gun with a 25.5 inch barrel and a 15 inch LOP, but I am 6'8" and 300 pounds. Accuracy is just what I can hold and has proven itself as can be seen in the 305 yard target. ![[Linked Image]](http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/SCOPAC495/P1010969.jpg) You had better sell that rifle due to it's inaccuracy - you missed the cat completely.....

Wow, old topic.
333 the gun turned out very nice....I may have missed the earlier post but whats it chambered in?
Since my initial post, I have had to have the 416 rebarrelled (crappy bbl from the get-go), went with a #5 Pac-nor 375 H+H this time.
Also since I posted this I have acquired 2 other SS LH MRC's
A 358 Norma & a 458 Lott, I also have an action only on my bench that is eventually gonna be a 404 Jefferey.

Hey FWIW - MRC is having a closeout sale on barrels right now.
50 bucks for an unturned barrel and 20 to contour them.

I've been thinking about getting a MRC action for a 458 Lott build.
