Roesika Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hi there I have spoke to Keith and there is a 3 month waiting time on the actions, could do with one sooner I would either take a predator or a tac 30 action , or consider a rifle built on either. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
char Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Steve Kershaw has a .243ai built on a stiller predator for sale. It's in an aics stock with a 1-8 twist barrell. Very low round count (200 aprox) Give him a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 The Stiller Predator is a good 'field' action but no better than those offered by UK's Revolution Precision - as used by Baldy - and readily available. Unless you've some fetish for Predators, there are alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I believe that John Carr is actually called Resolution Precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readily available ? lol i wish , been waiting for a 223 bolt face clubman action right bolt left port for about 5weeks ( i know thats not that long but initially thought 2 weeks from order ) , should be done soon , then coating bolt another 2weeks . I know hes been of recently with a bad back tho ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I don't think you can complain about five weeks. Consider the number of permutations on a single action - left-bolt, right-bolt, left or right port, three (at least) boltface diameters. Some may want an ejector others not. To satisfy just that market would mean having a couple of dozen actions on the shelf - and John make quite a few different action bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Considering the American options are 'whenever' !.....I am glad we now have a UK maker.....and I use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 This has always been the problem with the many designs that John and I have. He is working towards resolving supply lead times by keeping "standard" configurations on the shelf in the near future. Also remember that John supplies his regular customers first [ namely me ] and one - offs are in the queue. The main hold ups are the heat treatment and bolt coating people. Both can take a while, especially the heat treaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
