man, that reads a lot more negative than I meant it.

The ad copy that was quoted in the original post is, well, just normal advertising BS. You can make a decent rifle with this action, but it will always limit the total quality of the rifle. butthat is just fine for almost every one.

And as far as it being a sad state of affairs that the action is no longer made, it only impacts folks wanting to use the .505 case. For everyone else, it is no loss as the action is still being manufactured. And in higher numbers and to a higher quality level, I might add.

So build yourslef a nice rifle on the action and be sure to post some pics here when it is finished!
