I have a 591 action and a friend is wanting to build one like it. Surgeon is not takeing orders and paticularly not for actions only. Is there another action out there with the Remington 700 footprint, One piece rail, body and recoil lug all together? I was thinking of Stillers SS viper but that is square body. I dont see another one Stiller sells that is monoblock design.

thanks,
 
I have chambered a couple Defiance Rebel actions and did note just how nice they are but I did not know they made the Deviant action. That is very nice. When I chambered the Defiance Rebel actions one of them needed a bolt swap for a new bolt face and I called Defiance. Very good guys to deal with and I think this is the one to get. I asked him about the finish on them. He said they tumble them for a very long time in the stainless pins to get that luster finish.
