[quote][The real question is, which rifles have receiver BLANKS which are formed by forging, from a billet...or might be investment cast ? I know of none which are investment cast. /quote]

Ruger 77 and the Montana RifleMan action is investment cast.


[quote][F you are somehow implying with your question that a rough-forged receiver is somehow better than a fully machined one....I'd have to say - nonsense/quote]


No one to my knowledge makes a fully forged reciever witho9ut dimensional machining, it would be impossible to create the tight tolerances needed and no I am not implying that at all. Only two that i know of are the Howa and the pre-64 Model 70 and both are great actions. Just wondering if anyone else knows of any other forged actions
