  1. Cheers Vince, I'll check them out.
  2. The action I've designed has nothing like it on the market and will best fit onto a chassis with no bedding needed, it borrows a couple of features from different rifles and has 2 unique design addons I've never seen used before on a receiver. The main aim is to have the smoothest cycling action throughout the complete reload, as nice as my bat is,(or any custom action for that matter) I still don't like the way the bolt has slop and is free to move about when fully opened, my action uses forward external guide rails as found on the Blaser SR850 which keeps the bolt fully supported straight and true throughout.
  3. Lots of food for thought in these replies, thanks everyone for your suggestions, when I've build a couple I might just dip my toes in the market and see how they go, if nothing sells then I've gained some extra rifles!!..👍
  4. Thanks for your input gent's, you've confirmed what I already suspected, I'll probably make a couple of actions for myself and leave it at that with the action idea. Is there a need for anything gun related in the UK market? Or is everything readily available these days?
  5. Evening all I was wondering if there would be much interest in a mid priced, bench rest top quality (I'm taking bat, defiance, bighorn quality) British made action, aimed primarily at the prs/fclass benchrest crowd? I am a cnc machinist/toolmaker by trade and have access to some Gucci kit and was wondering if this is a journey worth pursuing? I realise there have been some great action builders who have come and gone, but can't imagine why if there is still demand for new US made receivers? Would you buy a British action on a par with Defiance for £750 say? Regards Kev
  6. 2 years ago I needed the money. .today I don't need to give it away at a dropped down bargain basement price to someone who tells me that he is an RFD and would like to stock it on his shelf but is really buying it for himself.
  7. Martini 12/15 .22 hornet for sale complete with reloading dies and brass.. At some stage it's had a cheek piece added for left handed shooters but tbh it's very comfortable left or right handed. £325
  8. Price drop to £1500 for this rifle plus muzzle brake, custom reloading dies and brass...even includes a roughing and finish reamer should you want to rechamber or rebarrel. Regards Kev
  9. Tough market isn't it...I've hardly had a sniff on my rifles...seems like custom precision top spec rifles aren't desirable anymore.
