I am not sure what that gentleman has been looking at but both C Sharps and Shilo sharps are the standards all others are judged by. There was nothing wrong with Petersoli until lately But it seems there quality is slipping over the last couple of years. (I have a Kodiak that has chatter marks down both barrels and the holes for the nipples were drilled improperly). As for your statement that cast actions are of higher quality. They use the casting process because it is more cost effective than machining from solid bar stock and when done properly (Ruger is a prime example)it is a very efficient way to make firearms. They are not stronger than an action machined from a billet of steel.
