rimfire magic centre fire custom action

The impala by Anglo custom is better

Ahh but is it 'better' because your a mate of the owner?

Rimfire magic have got many years of custom rifle building experience behind them, a proven track record if you like.......
 
Most UK made Custom actions are mediocre at best, the fit and finish is not as good as the US stuff, and from batch to batch the tolerances are not consistent. the GBR action is awful.
Although the idea of a domestically built action is a great one, the reality is that the demand is not there and as such they will only be made in dribs and drabs and scheduled into production between more important jobs.

my advise is by a name brand action from a known manufacturer who only specialises in rifle actions and shooting accessories, they run components in large batches, held to tight tolerances from the same batches of steel, the bodies and bolts are heat treated at the same time, and the fit and finish are performed to a very high standard. in short they are a polished product not another example of british hobbyists playing around in the manufacturing arena.

Dan are you sure you know what you are talking about? Some of the best engineering in the world comes from this island, in my experience, and this takes into accoutn 20yrs of close tolerance high spec engineering, american stuff is pisch and UK equivalents are far far superior, tighter tolerances, correct material spec and superior design. American engineering is often budget at best, built to a price and damn the rest.

There is nothing wrong with rimfire magic actions, from what I have seen they are well produced with hundreds of happy customers.

Its true i`m a friend of the owner but that did not sway my decision, if he has come up with something that is crap I will tell him as do others ( thats called constuctive critisism ) whch he listens to and helps things progress
If you were at Newark or Ewa I think it would be fair to say the buzz was about the Impala actions especially the titanium model , not the afore mentioned.
Infact some off the other british made custom actions were reffered to as just ok in comparison.
In fact MMBeatle if you Pm Janner ( Aka Mike Norris ) i`m sure he will give you an honest view of both and for that matter any others out there ( Steve Kershaw took one of these and in his words tested it to destruction then appologised when he could not break it.
 
The Valkyrie rifles action is an improved version of the action offered by SYSS.

Having said that you will not be able to just buy one and have your smith bulid you a gun on it, they are only been used by Valkyrie for their own bulids.

They do look like a nice piece of kit though and even tighter tolerances than a Surgeon action.

"quote british actions are mediocre at best"


:-|

granted ill givein to demand costings etc et cbut purely from a manufacturing engineering point of view!!!!!!

have you seen Russel Galls own actions???
i believe mr callum fergasun himself has seen them and is interested in using them!!!!
from his own mouth he said he wants to be making action to the same quality as BAT etc and form what hes produced hes done it!!!!!

if i was going for another custom based on what ive seen i would happily go for a RG Rifles own action or a Valkyrie action....i dont know regardin pricing but if it was more i would gladly pay to have a "british action" in my rifle i know others who have these action in rifles and accuracy cannot be beaten.

i work with the current F-class british and european champ and he won this with a rifle he built himself!!

go to ukvarminting and there is a crop of british "hobbyists" who are producing some beautiful as well as unbelievable accurate rifles.

of course we aint gonna compete with the yanks on pricing and demand....they are a damn site bigger than us with a far bigger % of population who are into rifles and shooting in general......to me you cant compare

Has anyone got any info on this action as i am thinking of using one on a custom rifle build

Thx in advance mark.....

My friend has one,I personally would not have one having tried it.
A surgeon action would be my first choice.
 
"quote british actions are mediocre at best"


What i actually put if you read it was that MOST british actions are mediocre at best, Russell Galls actions are not included in that statement. He is the only person who has invested the time and money to keep the actions in house, and thus the quality and consistency shows, hence the glowing approval from God (Callum Ferguson).
 
ok Dan i stand corrected when you didnt include Russel Gall....i jumped the gun sorry



i still think for the other guys tho that like you say due to specialised demand small market for the uk its a big expense and maybe not done "inhouse"
but im still glad to see british actions and they are accurate as well as nice to look
at.

i can only applaud the likes who are pushing this forward

Nothing wrong with British actions,well none of the deer i've shot with an old long Lee Enfield have ever complained.......spend your money on ammo, practicing and keeping fit and any half decent rifle will fill your freezer....just my ten cents worth.....
 
if US actions are so much better in general than UK made custom actions ...why have the US Special Forces and Scout Sniper units started using Accuracy International over any other previous and US made systems?

seems like a sweeping statement

Accuracy International are not makers of custom actions. they make a highly rugged and dependable weapons system which retains at least 1moa accuracy under almost any conditions. that is probably why they have chosen it.
 
are you saying they use someone else's?

NO, I mean, they dont supply actions to the general public or trade, they produce their own actions to be bonded to the chassis of their AI AW etc rifles, in other words they dont market their actions as a standalone product, therefore they aren't releveant to this debate. i'm sure if they did produce an action it would be first class, perhaps not up to benchrest standards but then that would not be the market they would be aiming for anyway.

Hmmm I was not aware that the AI target rifles like the Palma Master had the actions glued into the stock. The one I saw certainly did not as it was out and being modded to accept magazine feed. However that was some years back now.
