While I was in Reno this past week I stopped by Brown Rifles and talked with Mark. He had a Safari grade rifle with an anti-rust costing--22" barrel chambered in .416 Remington.. it had the Montana Action on it--he said he started using them when Winchester actions became difficult to acquire for new rifles they were building..

While I have never seen on in the raw---he must have done a lot of work on it because it worked effortlessly with the rifle having a vary natural shouldering too it..but for $6200. is should have.

Looked at another built by Bansner and it was incredible--he uses either Dakota actions or Winchester..he stated the Dakota actions required much less work to get them to his tolerences but would use either--his rifle was also chambered in .416 Remington and was also in the $6000 price range-however this gun felt like the Sako actions from 40 years ago..very nice...
