Coupe De Grace magnum action: Any members have such an action?

[Gert Odendaal]

Good day to all members. I am in need of information. I have been told about this action/receiver that is available at a decent price .This action will definitely work for my .338 Imperial Magnum build project..the action is currently the only outstanding item I need to enable me to start the building process .
I want to permanently import this action direct from the company selling these actions.
I would like to hear from members who are using this action currently on a rifle .https://americanrifle.odoo.com/shop...ion-1747#attr=491,494,495,519,512,522,514,516

That is different. First I've heard of them. What barrel configuration (threads) are they set up for?

Ted is a brilliant engineer, slightly odd. The action is good, you are going to have to use a Remington 700 style trigger which is not the best in terms of reliability over a broad range of field conditions. Depending on the intent of the rifle that might be ok. Also the action is going to use a detachable AICS style magazine. Again nothing wrong with it, just so you are aware it isn’t going to be a conventional looking rifle you’d see used in Africa.

I built a 7 PRC using this action. Maybe I should a write up on the rifle. I had absolutely no issues with the action on my trip to South Africa. I paired it with a BixN Andy TacSport X 2 stage trigger. Those who say Rem 700 style triggers aren’t reliable haven’t used a BixN Andy trigger. I have not once had an issue with one and have put them through some rough conditions. With the pivoting bolt handle extraction on a magnum cartridge is very slick. With the adjustable trigger hanger you can dial in your sear engagement on the trigger. Fairly easy to do but I recommend watching some videos on YouTube for your first time. I use American Rifle Company Mausingfield action for my 338 Lapua and the Nucleus for my PRS competition rifle. I have not had any issues with American Rifle Company actions. Also I recommend using Blue Mountain Precision to do your barrels if you buy this action. If you send him a barrel or if they have a barrel in stock he can chamber it for you without needing the action and turn around is a few weeks. If you have any questions let me know.

Have a 6GT built on a short action.

I did not do the flutes on the bolt. It has been a reliable action this far. Have not put it through harsh conditions as of yet. They are well engineered. The pivoting bolt handle takes a little time to get the feel for it. After 500rds, it still doesn't feel natural.
