We started out with the Winchester Express spacing on the actions. This thrilled some, but not the majority. The Winchester Express is a .862" front and .330" rear one piece base. On the Long actions we have added a third hole to the rear at .860" to accomodate the two piece base guys. I believe that this is going to be the standard spacing for the actions, but I need to check on the Mini and PH. From what I understand the PH may not be drilled and tapped at all, being a square bridge type action. Once I know for sure I will post a 100% definitive answer to this question.

PLEEEAAAAAASE do not drill and tap the PH action since most of them will be iron sights only. The few that need scopes can easily be drilled and tapped by the gunsmith who installs the barrel.

Thank you.
