Anybody have any pics showing the differences in these actions? Specifically the bolt handles?
What are the pros/cons of uding one or the other?

Stiller's website as pictures and specs for both. As near as I can tell, the main difference is the black oxide coating. John

From http://www.viperactions.com/actions/predator_tac.htmThere are very few differences between the TAC and the Predator actions. Here they are:
The bottom cutout on repeaters
The Predator short and long, 308 and magnum boltfaces have an extended loading box cutout. The cut is 0.130 longer than a standard Remington. It will take Wyatt's Outdoor or HS Precision extended boxes.
The 223 boltface Predator, TAC30 and TAC300 series actions have the standard cutout and will take a Remington box as is.
Scope holes
The Predator XP, short and long action has 6 - 48 TPI screw holes.
All TAC actions and the Predator Xtreme have 8 - 40 TPI screw holes.
Bolt Knob, all threaded on
Predator and Predator Xtreme have small teardrop.
All TAC actions have larger tactical knob anodized black.
Finish Color
Predator and Predator Xtreme are matte finished stainless
All TAC actions have black oxide finished stainless.

As stated, the predator has the extended mag box where the Tac 30 works with the std remington mag box. The black coating on my Tac 30 was a joke but had rifle cerakoted anyway so it didnt matter.

Predator and Predator Xtreme have small teardrop. Or may be quite large tear drops depending on how attached you are to your sawmill dollars.
