fla3006Appears to be secure. Is that a proprietary dovetail or based on one that fits something else, like a CZ?

Those are Talley Rings for CZ, since they are available we decided not to re-invent the wheel as far as size goes.

djpaintlesLovely. Do you have a different style bolt stop that doesn't interfere with the ring levers?..........DJ

Yes, here are some pictures from the other side.

djpaintlesDoes it have a Model 70 style ejector also? And is it set up for a coned breech or mauser style? Also if you don't mind me asking about what are prices and delivery times?..........DJ

Our N-Series Actions have a M70 style ejecter and a coned breech.
As for prices and lead times, lets take it offline. You can call me at 509-284-2215 or email me at karl@rifleactions.com.

CanadianLeftyDJ- prices are listed on the website.
Are those photos of your action "in the white"? Or is that stainless steel?
If stainless, are you also making them in left-hand?
thanks.

That is a picture of the action in the white, and yes they are available in left hand.

What do you have on the long actions as an anti binding device ?
Our N-Series actions have the anti-bind/guide lug on the left rail like the pre-64 M70. Also, our actions are machined and hand fit and finished which makes them significantly smoother making binding much less of a problem.

kutenayIt certainly looks very impressive and the sort of rifle that one would use hard and long with great satisfaction. I am curious as to the gas handling aspects of your design as compared with original Mod. 70s, H-ring FNs, Classic Mod. 70s and original M-98s. I can't find this info. on your website. Thanks.

Karl, are all of the action sizes and options available left handed?

Our N-Series has the same gas handling as the pre-64 M70, except the bolt ports vent down as opposed to the M70 which vented into the left lug.

Shane ThompsonKarl,
Looks like very nice work. Greg must have built this one while Dave was out of the shop. Just kiddin Dave. Are they available in stainless?
Very clean work!
Sure would look nice in a walnut stock.

Alf,
Does the Granite Mountain suffer from this drawback?

JordanLooks very nice. I would love one of your .223 sized actions. Got to get the house finished first though. I see you like that Zolatone paint.

WoodjackSmart,Neat job. I also appreciate when someone installs scope rings on a rifle that utilise maximum tube length,with the rings centred on each bridge.

Jonathan TomlinsonKarl
Just received a reply to a query I sent to Talley manuafacturing and it seems that a low 30mm scope ring for the CZ action is on the horizon and one that would permit the larger diameter low powered scopes.

WinkKarl, in the pictures you show a straight bolt handle but if I remember correctly on the web site you show a swept back handle. Is either available for the same price or is the straight handle a custom option?

Straight or swept bolt handle on any size action, right or left handed, at no additional charge.

Michael RobinsonNice set up.
Any particular reason why you moved the lug notch on the bridge to the opposite side (as compared with the CZ 550 set up, I mean)?

We did it that way to keep the scope locking levers out of the way of the ejection port, since our bolt stop doesn't interfere on the other side this just seemed to make sense.

I would think that the side of the gun the owner wanted the levers on would dictate where the recoil lug went. Talley's machining that part into the ring, not hein.

Actually the rings can go either way. The ones in the picture are Talley rings for CZ, we just flipped them 180 degrees. However, if someone had a preference, we could put the lug on either side.

both ring halves.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

WoodjackKarl,
can you tell us what the weight is of your 30/06 length action with and without the bottom metal?
Can a person order an action without bottom metal?
Also what is the magazine box length of the 30/06 action?
27 August 2005, 22:09
Ken ClineThe "N" actions are the former Pete Noreen actions, correct? I think I asked this here a while back.

Our Standard N-3 Actions has a magazine box length of 3.4 Inches. As for the weight, I can't give you an exact answer because the are too many variables. How many rounds do you want in the magazine, which bridge configuration, plus we can do many lightening cuts to get the weight down. Remember we machine these from scratch, so they are built to customer specifications and are not all the same. We can discuss the option of selling an action without bottom metal, get in touch with me directly if you would like.

Yes, the N-Series is the old Noreen design, we purchased his desing about 4 years ago. We have added several different sizes and bridge configurations but the basic design was his.

22WRFI am just curious how long it takes to make one of these actions, starting from a piece of bar stock or round stock, and just out of curiousity, how many different tools it takes to make one.
