This has been a really long road... if you are a member over on Long Range hunting you have probably seen this throughout the process... it has taken the better part of 3 years to get to this point.

My business partner, Joel Russo and I are very excited to be bringing this line of actions to market.

This is a 3 lug action. It has a 60* bolt throw. The lift of the bolt is no more than your standard R700. cocking piece contains a roller ball for extra smooth lift.

M16 Extractor

Integrated Rail and Lug (20 moa rail)

This is a true R700 footprint... it will drop in a stock inleted for a 700 action.

Below is one of the prototypes.. so bear with us.. it has some scars marks and tattoos. The Bolt knob is threaded and we will offer several options. We will be making some more minor cosmetic changes....

This is the Curtis Vector. It will be available in Short and Long... Single shot and BDL/AI as well as AW.

Also have on the drawing board a dedicated Lapua action as well as 408 Cheytac based. All actions will have corresponding bottom metal and mags. One of the Mags we have coming to market is a 3rd detachable mag that will fit where AI mags are accepted. SO, you can go from the PRS match to the stand... now you have a flush 3rd detach mag in lieu of the BDL system.

Very nice! Any ideas in what retail will be when they are made available?

Looks really good!! The rail is milled in as part of the action, correct? I don't see screw holes, so it looks like it is.

Yes, the rail is attached about half way through the milling process of the action body. Then final milling is done as one unit as to ensure perfect tolerances after heat treat. We did this to be able to change MOA cant of the rail with ease.

Looks great with nice lines. My only dislike is the integrated rail, while I like the idea, I don't like slots not being solid across. It's partbof my OCD and has nothing to do with performance. Would there be an option for it to be solid? I've got the itch for a 300WM build

The Short actions should be available in about two months...

We have NOT locked in retail pricing yet... but it will be market competitive.

Once you get used to cycling that 3 lug with the short bolt throw... it feels funny going back to the 90*... it will spoil you.. lol.

Like the looks of the action and 3 lugs are better than 2 IMO

Hard to tell, is the bolt handle brazed on like the R700's or dovetail like Tikka?

If I'm going to drop that kind of coin I want it to look good. Same with the wife, you spend a lot on her right? So you want her to look good.

Don't make me post that pic again stir

BIL, you're just jealous because you can't have such a quality factory rifle

Chase- I'll take you up on that offer

The Raceways are EDM cut

The bolt handle is pressed on into "bosses" that are machined into the bolt body... then tig welded and machined from there... ITS NOT COMING OFF!

We will do a run of left hand actions...

Here is a video of the action cycling... its smooth and fast with the 3 lug design!
