My go to 30br and possibly most accurate rifle I have is a vintage Farley in a Robertson stock as well. Still shoots 20+ x's pretty regularly if I do my part.Did you ever get your actions.?
As for Jim. He was one of the nicest men you could ever meet. And he made some great products.
But as a business man………
There was a saying in the Benchrest Community. If you ordered something, or, (God forbid), you had to send something back, you got stuck in “Farley Time”. Days became weeks, weeks became months, months became years.
By the way. My “go to” 30BR is built on a mid ‘90’s vintage Farley.
