Default RE: Which brand of action is the best?

I would not hesitate to use any of the actions that you listed. Nor would I pass on a Savage action. I have had several rifles built on the Model 700 action without any problem at all. I have never used a Browning action however I like the Browning rifles that I have owned. I have not seen any actoins stronger than the Savage lest it be a Mauser action. Many rifles have been built on the 98 Mauser action. People swear by the pre 64 Winchester action but I have not used one for a custom rifle.

I have used more Remington actions mostly because they were easy to find in LH.
