I am building a new rifle starting with a custom action. I was wondering if someone could point me towards some info regarding what to look for in an action as far as dual port, single port, bolt dia. etc etc.

Re: In over my head....action up build
Just look at the options. A dual port allows you to handle cases out of either side, yet still gives the extra stiffness of 'covered' action.
A Remington action has the top of the action open so handling rounds in the action itself is easier.
A round bottom that matches the Remington footprint is a plus in that most of the stocks out there are geared toward that. Savages are close but different enough that a basic Remington aftermarket stock isn't going to fit it very easily.

But the majority of</span> <span style="color: #FF0000">{high capacity}</span> <span style="color: #000099">DBM's that are known to work are for Remingtons. It will take some 'fit and finish' for another brand.</span>
Any specific points you need addressed?
