Ordered Wed and shipped today. As previously mentioned PTG had a problem with springs from a supplier, which was just resolved. I talked to the FFL sales group who was kind enough to check, and found the actions are being cranked out now. Must be my Southern charm!

Found a Shilen ratchet blank with the large shank to fit the 40X at Northland Shooters if you need one.

Good to hear the favorable reviews from other people. I bought mine secondhand from a member here and I am well satisfied. (I know that I gave too much but it's exactly what I wanted And, in my defense, I had had a couple of whisky drinks!)
Its all good

I resemble that statement. I seem to "buy high and sell low"

 

[akajun]

Picked it up today, worth the wait for the money
Very nice action

 

[CharlieNC]

Received my action too, just waiting on the tuner to arrive then off to the 'smith. PTG is cranking them out now.

Yes, it shoots great with a Shilen barrel. Five shot groups are around .13" at 50yd and 0.5 at 100yd, so the scores are up to me learning to deal with the wind. This is my first custom 22 so I went for a moderate cost action to try out the sport, and I like this so much now I wish I had gone all in for a top action like a 2500.

Were I you I would save my money and cherish the rifle you have. The chances of finding better are slim to none....

You're right! But my wife doesn't mind if I get another....

I have a question. It says a centre fire bolt is also available, how does that work with that tiny cut out? Would this action be suitable for both short range bench rest(6br) and 22lr bench rest? Would it be competitive?

I think the reference to the CF bolt is so that you can use those dinky little reloadable .22 cases (same size as .22lr) that were intended for use with jacketed bullets. I don't recall the name attached to that project, but believe it went tits-up, and the components are no longer available.
