Shilen barreled actions

[jghoghunter]

Has any one tried the new barreled actions from Shilen? Has any one tried the new action from Shilen with the floating bolt head? If you have what are your thoughts on them? How did they shoot.

Well, they ain't new. I believe it was Sports Afield that tested several brands of customs. Shilen won the shootout and reliability test.

I have one of the DGV actions and have spun on a pre-fit barrel just to see how it fit and headspaced, but I haven't shot it. It looks a lot like the other Stiller actions and is pretty good quality. The bolt head is multiple pieces but they aren't exactly interchangeable like a Savage or Bighorn. If you have any specific questions that I could answer I wouldn't mind pulling it out of the safe and seeing if I could answer it.

I have a DGR from Shilen they use their barrel and Jerry Stiler actions. It shoots great. I had mine shouldered no barrel nut. Just me, nothing wrong with the barrel nut. Tommt Mc..
