F-class rifle : action

[Mr_Logic]

Reminiscent of Badger's build along with Badger threads, but a different set of requirements...

I am looking to build a new F/TR rifle in 308.

First up - action choice. I could stick with my Savage and get a new barrel.

A sound plan? Which action would you choose and why?

Ta muchly folks :-)

" can we sue?"

[Mr_Logic]

No, you wanted a magazine fed gun, I want a single shot. If you can have an IPad and a Galaxy Note, then our two threads will have to get along :-)

And besides, flagrant plagiarism - do try to stay on topic ;-)

You have the plague ?

Careful ooman, they'll try and cull you too...

[Mr_Logic]

I'll shoot back! (With new f-class gun, hence need to pick action PDQ!)

[meles meles]

We have a magazine fed action ooman, whereas you need to single load. Go google Dervishes at Omdurman versus Lee Metford...

[Mr_Logic]

Me hit target, you clumsy pawed vermin and will miss, so my one shot is sufficient...

[Mike357]

First of all, what's your budget?

[Mr_Logic]

At this stage, I want to know people's thoughts on the relative merits of each action, so I am not worried how much it costs, yet.

If your Savage is one of the solid bottom 'target' actions - stick with that, they shoot amazingly well. If it's one of the old actions - with an enormous ejection port and mag. cut out - think about something else.

Quadlites and Quadlocks are quite plentiful on the s/h market and will form the basis of a sound single-shot FTR rifle.
