So are surgeon actions fairly available now?
They are about to start cranking them out at a fast pace.
Thanks
My LPA Fuzion Medium should ship this week... I cannot wait to get my hands on it. I have yet to hear a bad thing about them!

I would say that's a pretty accurate statement...
Give them a call 623-780-1050 ask for Cory C. or Glenn M. I'm sure they will get you in the mix...

I got a better hookup, my father in law is Preston Pritchett lol.
Perhaps I can convince someone to trade me their 591 action for a Defiance Rebel 6.5 Creedmoor barreled action

Brand new barrel, not even filly broken in, less then 100 rounds down the pipe
Would you care to comment on any specific things you do to tune the action? Do you find them ready to go as shipped?
Thanks!

Let me start here Surgeon makes a fantastic product. We use them more than any other custom action. For most builders they are ready to barrel up. We do a few extra THINGS that are a little unorthodox, some of my procedures are proprietary. Most other builders would probably say what we do doesn’t look good on paper, but the results are completely opposite. We also do a little work on the bolts and our barrel receiver fit has an extremely high torque. The high torque does not allow the molecular structure to change much thus allowing my Cold Bore Shot to not deviate. These procedures are a portion of our prescription for Precision / accuracy. No doubt. We also bake the actions on a cold start. They are removed the following day. These proprietary procedures along with our reamer designs and our chambering process allows us to present our ground zero operational Precision / accuracy.
I hope that Clarifies some of my protocol and procedures…

Does this mean the barrelled action has to come back to you for barrel swaps?

You might want to consider it There have been a few smiths that broke their action wrenches trying to remove our barrels. Feel free to give me a shout when ever your GTG 310-275-8797...

Funny how things change. 6 months ago telling people you owned a Surgeon and was happy with it was like telling people you were a pedophile.
Here's mine. Does a Surgeon look out of place in a KRG Bravo? I don't think so.
As long as your Happy that's all that really matters right ? Fk the haters

Nothing wrong with a Bravo. They look great and are very functional. That win/win IMO
Just got off the phone with Mark from Short Action Custom we had an in-depth conversation about some smith to smith protocol and procedures. He's a fantastic guy and a great builder I knew when he started out back in the day he'd build a GREAT PRODUCT (S). I like Mark very much definitely a class act and a gentleman, I'm impressed with his work and knowledge . Surgeon came up in our conversation and I mentioned they are in full production and it looks like he's coming onboard and he's contacting them today...
Mark I drink MGD lol

Great to hear that SAC might be on board ... Mark built my current rifle and it is great!
I would love to see Surgeon rise again. So much to like. Integral recoil lug, integral Pic rail, plenty of clearance in raceways and the great Remington extractor.

I wish they came DLC coated, had all of mine done by Club Custom Guns.
Very nice.
6.5 SAUM below, definitely a shooter.
I’d take a Surgeon any day.

I agree. DLC coating would be the tits on a Surgeon action. That's how they should come.
That dlc coating looks good
Here's my favorite Tac 70 (.338LM) built on a Surgeon 1581XL. To me, the full Birdsong Camo is what makes this rifle extra special. Excellent optic too! If you notice the Recoil Pad is missing in photos #1 & #6, it's because Mike had to remove it to fit the Tac 70 in his XL Case. Mike's working on a 2XL Case to accommodate Big Boys like the Tac 70.

God damn that’s the baddest mother fucker I ever seen in .338 LM wow
nice stick manI remember that build like yesterday Maybe 8 years ago I'll have to check the computer for shits and giggles...

Thanks. IT IS badass, but that Tac 70 isn't mine. I don't have a range within 3 hours drive that will stretch the legs on my X-Ray 66, let alone a Tac 70. And truth be told, that Tac 70 is well beyond my means. Even handloading a .338LM is expensive to feed!God damn that’s the baddest mother fucker I ever seen in .338 LM wow
Taste vary.
I appreciate the features of many actions.
Borden, Lone Peak Arms, Remington 700 etc.
For Tough+accurate+never fail reliability in a rough environment I choose Surgeon.
I take no offense to those that make or promote other choices.
This got by me I wanted to say great statement (s) and I completely agree. I'll be keeping my glass on you

Is that a 1.450 barrel shank?
FINALLY received my Surgeon 1086! Bought one from EuroOptic. Purchased yesterday, shipped the same day and picked it up from my local gun shop today. Good service!!
Holy shit ,,,,,20TH build? Must be a Tac Ops collector.Thanks for sharing, Mike !
Of course Blair anytime... btw your 20th build is almost ready

Off the top of my head I believe its 1.350

I don’t know what’s up in the US but here in Australia it seems like every premium firearms dealer has them in stock or can get them within a few months...
I’ve had my heart set on a surgeon action for my first build for years mainly because it was the first custom action I was introduced to.
I know they have negatives based off of what I have read on the hide but to me it seems like they might be a good all rounder??
Sir,
When @MikeRTacOps uses them I think it's safe to say they have no major flaws and fewer downside issues than about anything out there.
I have used them since they came out and never had an issue. Basically they are little tanks.
Let's see...…………..believe this or believe Mike Rescigno, the maker of TacOps rifles?
Choices, choices.…..
Edit: don't GAF about how many rifles you've had. How many have you made that are in the hands of the most elite police units in the country?
