I've got a dang nice foundation for one. Kelbly's Prometheus .532" bolt face. The action, recoil lug, and 20 MOA Pic rail are machined from the same bar of steel. 75° bolt throw. An action for life! Rem 700 footprint, makes stocks no so difficult and triggers no problem. Not spoken for... ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-10697-446410-1000005125.jpg)

It's never for sale. It's for someone to say they want a rifle built out of it.

I'm thinking of a new lightweight 7mm-08 or 6.5 Creedmoor for a lefthanded daughter. Bolt face too big?

 Is Google broke down again? This is a .532" bolt face. The 08's and the Creedmoors are .473" bolt face. I've got actions for that application as well.

I was listening to pod cast and ADG was talking about general posting production schedule. I think UM and Creedmoor post them Some where

I don't know what bullet you are thinking but take that same bullet weight and make it a 300wsm  Bad medicine on anything that would come in contact with it...I ran a 155 Lapua Scenar in mine, right in the 3100 neighborhood and nothing survives it....mine is 24" and running 3260. Oh and it fits in a Hawkins detachable hunter mag.

I’m a rather large fan of JGs 7-08 with ELDX. I just killed an Eland with it. Pics are in the photo section.
