Built and rebuilt a guy a rifle and the rifle wouldn't deliver. Eventually tracked down to the action.

probably the same thread from a couple years ago from the guy with a SAC rifle and multiple trips back
i saw the pics Tate shot with it with factory hornady 308 ammo...looked fine to me
Tate could have probably took that "bad" action and shot circles around anyone else who hand a hand in that thing, but their minds seemed made up by that point and needed to point fingers somewhere
Mike at TacOps had a hand. Can Tate shoot circles around Mike? Before you answer, there is a TacOps thread on here with dozens upon dozens of test targets shot with factory ammo.
you think i didnt know who was in on it before i made the comment?
i said what i saidGuess I've been fortunate with my two Mausingfields one an M5 another M7. The M7 hasn't seen much use, but the M5 has. Been running the action for several years in local PRS matches. Never had an issue with it.
Also haven't seen as many issues with other receivers including Savage to custom receivers. Biggest issue I've seen is pressure against the magazine causes a failure to feed in push feed receivers. Haven't seen actions go down though. Other issues I've seen are scopes going south, barrels burning out, ammo loaded too hot, case head separation.

I don't think you are fortunate with your Mausingfield's, they are a quality and robust design.
Some don't get along with the nuances of CRF rifles, but that preference has nothing to do with reliability.
The Mausingfield is a solid action. One of my absolute favorites.
Whole heartedly agree, I absolutely love my Mausingfields
Part of the reason is just economics. The Coup de Grace design was a collaboration between Ted and ..... (the guy that makes Vudoo 22 actions). There may be some strategic alliance between them.
Probably can't justify the costs of all four different actions.
Also.... this ^
People keep forgetting that Toyota's are known for better reliability than the Ford's....even though Ford sells more trucks here in the US. And some people still buy Dodge's and Chevy's.
These conversations where someone asks a legitimate question to try and gain some knowledge or understanding usually devolve into something akin to the experiment with the monkeys and the electrified bananas at the top of the pole. Eventually all the monkeys in the room have been replaced....none of them has any actual experience with the bananas at the top of the pole, but any new monkey who tries to climb the pole and get the bananas gets pulled down and beaten. I'll let you all self identify yourself and your preferred action in this story, hahaha.
Regardless of which brand's sticker you have on your truck window, regardless of how many first place finishes this action or that action has, this is the bottom line:
I think its simpler than this. The new action adds features, reduces parts count, looks better, and at the moment is $200 cheaper. Nobody in their right mind should buy a new Arch.
