Mack Bro’s SS Evo

[duramaxed]

Didn’t see anything posted in the Shot Show thread.

Mack Bros introduced a Stainless Evo that looks nice. At $600 seems pretty hard to beat. Aesthetically a good looking action.

Never felt one To be able to compare but the Ti thread on here shows positive results

thoughts?

 

[Bantam1]

I posted some other pics and info they gave me at shot in the shot show thread.

I have one of their cans and I can say their machine work is top notch.

I may have to snag one of the actions at some point.. soon!

 

[duramaxed]

@Bantam1 great pics and info. Thanks. Looks like there is some interest in it. I’ll be one for that price.

 

[m6z]

Wow. Incredible value.

No problem. I never get the chance to see a lot of items that I am interested in. I have to rely on info here. I try to get as much info as I can and return the favor to so many on this site.

It's very nice and the bolt is quite slick. They're going to sell as many as they can make once the word gets out. Marketing is not their focus so you don't hear a lot about them but they do make the actions and cans that have a lot of other companies' names on them.

Disclosure- they are friends of ours but I think I can still objectively say they are very nice.

 

[Average guy]

I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these.

 

[Coyoteman]

Excellent price can’t wait to here some reviews on these.

 

[kthomas]

At that price point they should do very well, as long as there's no fatal flaws.

If it's a good performing action, then it looks like it could be a very solid base to build a more budget orientated rifle.

I spoke to them this morning. Once their SHOT inventory arrives I’m going to handle one of the actions. Got my name in the hat for an early action once they come out. I’ll keep everyone posted. Love the idea of a custom action that’s made local to me.

 

[b6graham]

why doesnt the profile of the lug match the receiver

 

[Lowlight]

Mack Bros is a Hidden Gem at SHOT

This action is insanely worth the time and consideration

 

[2010Ruger]

Any word on when they’re going to be available?

 

[bgavin]

Can’t wait to try one.

 

[Lowlight]

I believe they are available now

I agree 100%. I forgot about visiting them and they were next to Badger. Thankfully I stopped and took a look at it. The only reason I stopped was to talk to them about the bolt for the REM 700. They showed me the action and said "why not just buy the action instead of doing the work?" Made sense to me.

Mack Bros. Told me June this morning

The bolt head is very cool

I’m getting more excited by the minute. Looks like I’m going to be really happy.

I'm looking forward to reviews on this action. Let us know how you like it.

I’m planning a 6.5 cm 26” mtu contour barrel. I definitely will let everyone know.

 

[2010Ruger]

Definitely going to keep an eye on this. Nothing on their website yet.

 

[bigwatchpilot]

I'll be following...

 

[3-0-hate]

Did anyone happen to get a weight on the action? I emailed them and they told me available June 2020, but glossed over my question on how much it weighs.

 

[Bantam1]

I didn't ask. It felt to be of similar weight for other stainless short actions to me. They had their Ti action on display and of course it was much lighter.

 

[RemCustom6]

Mack Broz are top notch dudes that manufacture superior quality stuff. I run quite a few items that they produce, including 3 of their cans. I don’t own one of their actions yet, but I will very soon. To know where those guys started and know what they are doing today, says a lot about them and their team. Custom actions at 575-600$$$ these Boyz will own this market! Good luck to them, keep making quality stuff so us gun geeks can play more!

 

[bodhisafa]

When will they start taking orders?

 

[mi223]

What barrels is it threaded for?

 

[Average guy]

What barrels is it threaded for?

It’s a Remington 700 barrel tenon

 

[bgavin]

Will prefits be an option?

I’m planning on a Remage barrel.

 

[B4Maz]

This is a great deal. Not sure why anyone needs to true a Remington 700 now ?‍

 

[Chato308]

Any updates on availability?

I messaged them on their website and they said they hoped for June.

That's forever, guess I should just start buying parts

 

[Average guy]

I stopped at Mack bros today and handled one of these actions. The are damn nice. I can’t wait to build a rifle on one. Super slick and no practical features left out

 

[mercracing]

I’ll probably jump on one when they’re available. I don’t have any idea what I’ll build, but I’ll figure it out.

 

[duramaxed]

I’ll probably build one too. I hope they standardize the tenon between the SS and the Ti so barrels could swap. They seem to make really nice stuff so If they can pull off an action worthy of prefits, it’d be a grand slam at the price point.

I’ve got an MPA and an MDT just sitting around. I feel like I should put them to good use.

 

[JakeM]

Bump. Anybody got one yet?

 

[Average guy]

I talked to Mack the other day. They are shooting for June release.

 

[tylerradke]

Anyone know if they will be offered in left hand? I'm sure not right away but down the road.

 

[winniedonkey]

Any word of a 223 bolt head offering? Either way the positivity surrounding this new action is going to see it flying of the shelves.

 

[JakeM]

If they aren’t shut down because of the virus.

 

[RemCustom6]

I can promise you they are up and running! I was in their building just yesterday.

 

[ohiofarmer]

Any word of a 223 bolt head offering?

Ditto. I’d be up for one with a 223 boltface.

 

[r2gallagher]

I emailed them a couple days ago about full specs on this action, and when we will be able to get our hands on them.

I am planning a build, was going to rebarrel a 700 action I have, but if this takes remages I can use the barrel I have ordered in this action, I might sell the 700 and upgrade to this.

 

[verdugo60]

Just talked to them today on the phone. They're shooting for June, no pre-order( a good thing IMHO) and the action will have swappable bolt heads eventually. Uses Remington threads not savage.

As long as it's reasonably smooth with good tolerances I'm sure they will sell a boatload of them, especially if someone starts making prefits. Just up the road from LRI if Chad wants to start!

 

[m6z]

Are they taking down names or do we just have to wait until they're on the website?
