Quality is not bad for an investment cast action. Needs lapping of the raceways, a general polishing, the usual truing of the front receiver ring, and other things we do when building a nice rifle. Floorplate and triggerguard is not as good as a Williams, but OK. Basically, M98 style breeching, no extractor cut required as in the M70.

I wish they had stayed with the Mauser type bolt release. Easier to operate.

Barrel threads are 1"-16, should have been 1-1/16"-16. But with the 1" shank, you can use a pre threaded push feed M70 barrel, or a Ruger barrel. In fact, I have a No. 1 Ruger 458 barrel, unfired, with ramp and sights, that I am thinking of putting on one of the Montana actions. Just takes a little lathe work to fit the barrel up properly for indexing and headspace. Maybe run my 458 Lott reamer in the barrel also.

Think I have a photo somewhere of this arrangment, will post later.
