Thread: Barnard Action Hunting Rifle

I have the SMS action, it really is NOT a direct drop in, I was excited by it as Ive wanted to build a kiwi made rifle for bush stalking for a long time, it works fine but does not fit flush with the 700 stocks at the rear of the action, I am going to get my gunsmith to butcher the action to make it fit properly then re-coat the action, anyone wanting to know more id suggest to PM me before throwing money at Barnard, there are better options out there for the moment, having said that the lads at Barnard are great and the products they make are excellent just not quite there with the "drop in" hunting actions yet.
