If you seek light and stiff - I have a couple of Lone Peak Ti Short and long action. Another excellent option is Defiance Deviant - lightweight. Both with great reputations in long-range and PRS.

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.
Nga, don't butcher a good new action, can't you just trim up the stock. I know when I did mine I had to take 3-4 mm out of the front as it was a little longer than the 700 stock cut out, from memory I may have had to carve a little around the trigger box area as well as a little to ease the magazine release.
I cant remember having to take anything away at the rear of the action but they do have a long rear taper coming out.

It’s only new until you buy it, then it’s secondhand, may aswell modify it to the way you like it. I very much doubt he intends to leave it with grinding marks and rough angles.Quote:
