Kauger Arms BRIII action

Hate to revive an old thread but I am very interested in the BR action and wondered if anyone could recommend a smith that would spin up a barrel for this action?
 
Anybody have input on these actions in F open. Seems like they are much less common than the other big brands. Is that just because they haven’t been around as long?

The only difference between a BR action and a F open action is that the F open rifle can weigh more so the actions tend to be larger to add weight. Like the BRMXD, its a BRM thats been around for a long time the action diameter is just bigger for weight. Its not a new or different action than the BRM. Its like a Bat M or B, you can get it 1.350 1.4, 1.47, and 1.550 in diameter, round octagon and multi flat. Integral lug and rail or not. Same action just different out side shape. They all shoot the same. Theres no reason a Kauger would not work for F open unless you prefer a heavier action. The weight has no bearing on accuracy of the action it just makes it easier to get to that 22 pound limit. But its only ounces, I think too many worry too much about it. I would not hesitate to build an open rifle on a 1.350 action. I have. And I have done the deflection testing. A 32" 1.250 barrel is not going to flex a 1.350 action enough to do anything. Theres lots of sponsorships in F class. You see this in PRS too. That makes it hard to make decisions about equipment.

I decided to see if Kauger has plans to build a heavier action in the near future. Response was yes and plan to release in 1-2 years. I know I was excited to hear this. Thought I’d share.
