Leo Fix did in fact come out with a new model, Model W, in 2016. It is about the same size as the Model J and incorperates a few design "improvements." I bought two of them at that time. I built a 45-70 on one, see photo. The other one will be a 7.62x53R, but I have not started in it. I like these actions, but they do need quite a bit of work to get everthing as it should be. I don't know if they are still available. The price sheet below has Leo's contact information.

GM: That's a handsome action -- and your choice of 7.62X53R is fascinating.

I have been giving a lot of thought to building a .600NE on mine...just because. May I ask your barrel contour for asthetics?

It was a custom contour, barrel made by Swan Rifle Barrels in QLD Australia. Made with a fairly long chamber area and big enough for a shoulder and to allow thicker chamber walls. Muzzle was dimensioned to suit the biggest banded front sight we could get from NECG.
