What actions are best to build a 375CT repeater?

[XXXXX]

I have exhausted myself during the last 3-4 days on the computer learning about various actions for the 375 Chey Tac. And I still don't know which ones are machined the best. The BAT Machining and the Barnard Precision seem to be the best for single shot .375CT's.

Stiller Precision is said to make a good one, but they don't talk up how precise their machining is or not, on their website. So I don't know about them.

I don't know if Surgeon makes a .375 CT action, but I want stainless steel and they use 4340 chromoly for their actions.

I love the looks of the Lawton actions and they look beefy enough to withstand a hit from an ICBM, but I hear they are out of business.

VIERSCO is said to be a reputable action, but on their website it looks like they sell only complete rifles.

So I have found out just about everything else except what I am looking for; therefore, I am in need of real help here, as I can't start an ELR rifle build until I find the action I want.

So who knows who makes a precision machined action for .375 Chey Tac repeaters????

Thanks for the help. All commnents welcome!!!

A lot of guys here have built them on Stiller actions.

Desert Tactical Arms makes the HTI which is a switchbarrel rifle capable of shooting the 375 and 408 Cheytac along with the 416 Barret and .50 BMG. Its a nice rifle....

What kind of accuracy are they getting out of the Stiller actions, and are they going with the 1.45 (outside diameter in inches) or the 1.60?

Also, since I am going to have the rifle built, can you guys recommend some excellent gun builders for ELR rifles?

1.60 for stiffness. 1.45 for light carry rifle. I prefer Stiller as they have been very good to deal with and make great actions. I wouldn`t run the 1.45 OD at max pressure as the action wall are not thick enough around barrel tenon and swelling chamber is/has been problem.
