richard's new stolle

saw richard's new stolle panda fclass action today.
first thing to catch the eye was the finish. inside and out immaculate.
while looking (holding) the lack of weight was apparrent.
on top is an integral 20 moa tapered base, in this case picatinny. no more crooked bases for richard.
barrel thread was extremely well executed as it should be, and the bolt, although new, moved smoothly.
the right lug held a post 64 type extractor, easy to remove and replace, yet extremely reliable. left lug conained a mechanical ejector. nothing to go wrong here, and its use is optional, depending on how far the bolt is moved to the rear.
the huge flat bearing surface on the bottom of the action makes for easy inletting and bedding, and the big recoil lug is where it should be, under the receiver ring.
all machine work would suggest that everything is true and square,as is the well established reoutation of anything to come out of kelbly's. they have a rock solid reputation of being rugged, reliable, accurate and strong. and kelbly's have a reputation of standing behind their products, even if it's the wrong colour.
and it just looks good.
richard has the heart of a fine rifle here, one that will make him proud and last him well.

so I have a new barrel...it wouldn't be too difficult to guess what action you would suggest hanging off it.
