MRC PH Action for Heavy Barrelled .338 Lapua
Do more knowledgable folks than I have an opinion about how this action will go for a Long Range .338. It has a big bolt and is a big action so it should be stiff.
Will it deliver the goods ??

Mainly for shooting Pigs etc on the open plains of NSW at long Range. My mate and I have been thinking about it for ages and think it would be a lot fun.

but I think it would work very well. It is a very stiff action, and with the way the barrel attaches to the action (like a Mauser) the connection between barrel and action should be stiffer too. Combine that with the right barrel contour and I think you would have a great long distance rifle.
Dan,
I think you have neally sold me mate. My friend and I have narrowed down either to one of your actions or Saving for a TRG 42 Dues to "the look, and the fact that they do shoot" !!
I will send a private e-mail !!
Take Care PC.
