I'm trying to get an idea of which you guys think is the better action for all around ease of build and can be fit to any and every stock. The reason for this last comment is I have read that Mr. Gradous only uses Surgeon acions and specific stocks for a specific reason. I don't know if GAP, Mr. Dixon, Spec Ops etc.. all have the same policy with their builds so that's what I'd like to know. I apologize if I have not realized one or a few actions don't come in a lefty either. This would probably make the selection process easier huh?
I'm a lefty shooting on a righty platform. While prone is ok it's still a bitch to secure the stock with your non-trigger hand then have to let go to manipulate the bolt and then get re-aligned again. I'd like to do everything the right way. I figure I'll still have my righty to train with while I wait for my build to complete so it's not something I need right now, that's why I'm not buying a new/used gun....well that and lefty's are about as easy to find as needle in a haystack plus I need to purchase the components in pieces for my wife's sanity and lesser sticker shock.
I'd love to hear from the Smiths on why they use certain actions or if I'm just speculating that they actually have a preference.
