Before I am crucified for asking, I have been looking through the forums for this answer and have found none, which is odd for how many times it's been asked.
Long story short, I have a little bit of cash, and I've built quite a few ARs. I have been researching like crazy on building a bolt gun in 6.5CM. I keep coming back to the same question on actions. I understand that Tikkas are great actions, and don't have as much after market support as others. I'd probably just do a trigger spring, stock and new barrel after I shoot the Tikka barrel out, And be happy as long as it's at or under 1/2 moa.
BUT, and a huge BUT, my concern isn't which action is incredibly smooth. The most important thing to me is durability. Would a bighorn origin, or defiance tenacity barrled action be more durable? From what I'm seeing, I could almost get 2 Tikkas for the price of one barrled action. But again, I want durability. Thanks
