Gentelmen,
I'm going to build my first custom rifle for F Open. After consideration I chose .284Win, not the fashionable magnums as I want to have decent barrel life and brass availability.
I plan to use a Joe West stock, but I have a problem with the action. I'm in Europe, and pretty much nothing's available. I planned to go Barnard, but there was no shipment in 2 years now, and the company seems shut (not even the website works). American actions are nonexistent also. It has come to the point that people are actually building custom rifles based on T3X Tikkas...
Question to the F Open guys - how much a difference does action really make wnd what would you choose nowadays?
TIA,
Michal
