Just thinking out loud

Post by trevort »

Let’s say you had a hankering for a gun in a chassis. Let’s say something like an ai Swede or a saum . What is the best action to build something like this on?

I don't think there is a best action for a chassis, they all have pro's and cons.

For a sweede you need a long action so anything would work as you aren't pushing lengths of the action or magazine, the RSAUM on the other hand can be the opposite if you want to run heavier projies.

What Seddo is trying to say is “you should have bought that ruger on Saturday”

The RPR's seem okay but i would never say buy a M77, shitty mausers.

Too many compromises buying an RPR and as Andrew said I’ve been down that road before. It was more of a case that if the wife says you can buy it and then you don’t well that’s one you’ll never get again

Don’t worry. Mine said “you should buy it” when I looked at the Pulsar Core FXQ50

Trev I believe defiance or one of those customs makes actions more designed for a chassis for the prs shooters. If they make a long action then uncle Robert you go :).

Actually any remington long action footprint action would have a chassis to suit I would imagine??

Yes. I’ve seen one I like. I’ve also seen a custom barrel screwed into a rem action. Chambered in six rem ai with a huge brake. Could squeeze that into a chassis
