Folks post up pics of your rifles built on the Montana ph actions please give specs etc. Cheers pc

The humble beginning, iphone shop picture right after the newly barreled action was broken out of the glass bedding
and reassembled for test firing: The Sporting .408 Chey-Tac





MRC PH stainless action, 4.070" inside box length, 1.200x16tpi barrel threads.
Barrel: Dan Lilja stainless, 1.350" breech diameter, "No. 7 Sporter," fluted, 26-inch finished length, 1:13" twist.
MRC-supplied Boyd's walnut stock.
I'll check up on it soon.
It is getting finishing touches from Sir Gunsmith, Rusty McGee, at the Hilltop Gun Shop and Spa for Wayward Rifles.
I broke a right T-6 rib falling across a log last week, dodging a falling timber ...
Maybe a month before I do much shooting.

RIP I had a question about these actions in another thread.....that is my PH action is drilled and tapped for bases, what ones actually fit, is it say rem700 bases or win model 70 ?

cheers pc

See your other thread, answered there.

Surely there has been more rifle sbuilt on these actions than RIP's folks ?

I know Wayne at AHR built at least one 600 Overkill with an MRC PH, and swore off that action after that.
If I ever get really big-bored I'll try a 600 Overkill switch barrel on my .408 CT:

Yes, that's Rich's (Idaho Sharpshooter) rifle...not sure who has it now.

The biggest and baddest in the PH,

Case is 4.27" version. I have an extra bolt bearing lug using
the bolt handle base, like I do with Enfields.
Gets 1000 gr to 33-3400. Anyone needing PH actions

I have one that I have been finishing getting the sights installed. Will try to post a few pics soon.

I have searched this board for more posts on the PH actions and it looks like there isn't any recent ones. I have seen that there were some issues with the action. Mine is chambered for the 550 Shirley magnum. I would like to hear from those who have used this action. I am having a issue with the extraction mentioned in one post. For the life of me I can't find the sticking point. PM are very welcome or direct email is ok also.

Here's mine, done of an MRC 1999 505 PH action by Bijou creek customs.

Steven,

Nice Rings&Rail.
That would certainly make sense on my .408 CT.
Nice stock.
Who made it? I might need one of those ...
Is that a .550 Magnum?
Please tell more, otherwise you are just a gunpornographer.
How about some redeeeming social value to go with that cheesecake?

Hi RIP;

Yes it is a 550 Mag on a PH action with a Pac-Nor 24" barrel.
Neal Shirley loaned me the chamber reamer. The dies are from CH Die.
The stock comes from Royal Arms Gunstocks of Simms, MT 59477.
It is totally glass bedded.
The scope is a 30mm Sightron S-Tac 2-10 x 32 #26010.
The rings are 30mm Vortex and the rail a o.480x12" picatinny
from Amazon.com that I shortened to 7" and fitted to the action.
The stock finish is a handrubbed oil wood finish by Arrow in
Milton, WI. 53563.
There is a Vais style brake that I make myself that adds 2" to
the barrel lenght. I also added mercury recoil reducers to the
butt stock to balance the weight from the heavy barrel. I don't
have a weight yet but will say close to 12 lbs.
I have just finished it so I don't have a report on how it shoots.

Well we made it to the range (mine) and did find that this thing will kill on both ends.
The weight is 14 lbs 12 0z and it could be double to make life easier when you pull the trigger.
I loaded a safe round of 100 grs of H335 behind a Barnes 700 gr solid and Fed 215 primer. Recoil was heavy but not severe. I didn't Chronograph the load but primer showed a light load.
I then upped it to 110 grs and the recoil WAS severe but the primer didn't show any pressure.
Decapping did show that the 110 gr load is max or very close.
Need the chrono to check against QuickLoad figures.

550 magnum and 700gr barnes BANDED solids
from ammo guide
110gr of tac or h335 should be under or around 2200 fps

100gr of tac or h335 should be around 2050

Howdy
Thanks for the reply.
I used QuickLoad and look at the useable pressure, which I don't have a way to check, but compare fps from the program.
I have a Oehler 35P chronograph I use but put it away a couple of years ago and haven't been able to locate it since. Old age is getting to my gray cells quicker than I like.
I am sure it won't get better.
