I'm trying to put together a feature list to compare different custom actions. I'm limiting this at the moment to actions that are used to create custom rifles. In other words, actions you can buy by themselves, not just as a complete rifle (e.g. you can't buy just the accuracy international AIAW action), or that are frequently taken from donor guns to build into custom rifles (e.g. mausers). But at the same time, I want to compare them to a couple of the popular factory actions. Not really looking to compare every single factory make out there.
The criteria is further restricted to magazine fed repeaters. I'm mostly focused on the actions common in practical/field precision matches.
So i took a quick stab and compiling some info and I'd appreciate corrections, additions, etc. Some of this info I took off vendor pages, and some i took from rifles that I own, which can be dangerous as there are often different models and options so someone else might have one of these actions that is different than the one I have because they might have an earlier or later version of the same model, for example. Please don't quote any of this until it's been reviewed a good bit. I'm sure there are errors on here.
If anyone has a suggestion on additional differentiators or how to quantify things like bolt-to-action clearance, speak up.
one more note... i don't want this to turn into another "chart". there is NO implied value judgment from left to right. No value judgment on the features. Just attempting to list facts.
