I'm interested in building a 7mm SS. I already have a great stock for the build but would like some feedback. I'm disappointed ARC discontinued the Mausingfield and am not interested in having to modify either the stock or the action for their CDP action. I've already talked with ARC about it.

Here's the specs I'm looking for:
CRF
Left hand
Short action

I know Bighorn makes one, is there a better option I can look/should look into?

I've had a Mausingfield for PRS use since 2017. It's never had a failure to feed, extract, or eject. So I'll probably go with the TL3. Looking closer at the Atlas, I see it has a trigger hanger. I already have a McMillan for this build and would rather not do any modifications to this stock.

I had 2 mausingfields and currently 1 cdg. the cdg is the coolest action ever by far.
fight me.
I'd recommend you quit complaining and just file the stock a bit for the trigger hanger and enjoy the CDG in all it's glory.

I have two cdg. One regular and one light weight. Also have 3 Archimedes and a nucleus. So yes I like arc actions. For what you’re asking for and buying a new action I can’t see why you wouldn’t get a cdg. It’s extremely nice and the amount of dremel work to get around the trigger hanger is no joke about 35 seconds and you’ll never see it anyways. Especially if your already in love with a mausingfield the cdg will more then likely make you very happy. Another point on the trigger hanger is it may take 35 seconds with a dremel but the advantage of tuning the action with it really makes for a slick bolt throw and totally worth the dremeling.

The Mausingfield required no tuning. It worked great the Huber triggers. That's the issue with trigger hangers, you have to modify stocks/chassis to get them to work. I've also been told from ARC that modifications have to happen for it to feed AICS.

That's not completely true.

The Mausingfield does require tuning in some cases to get it to single feed.

I get the annoyance over the trigger hangers. It's becoming a more popular feature, but not all stocks and chassis' are inletted to accept a hanger. However it is a nice feature, especially if you use triggers that you can't time easily (like a TT).

I know the CDG is made to run from AW mags, which is a huge selling point for many. If you don't have or want AW mags, yeah I can see this as an additional negative.

Have you checked with ARC to see if they have any Mausingfields left? According to their "lead time" sheet, they do have LH SA open top Mausingfields left:

aics are great but I much prefer the AW double stack pattern over all when used with an appropriate action (ai, cdg),
just figure out the design differences and what will work best with your system and run those mags.
that said the mausingfield with aics was dandy also. not many bad options in 2024
