Stiller Predator Bolt Question

[X-Caveman]

The new stiller sent me to PTG when all I wanted was a replacement firing on spring for my TAC 30. Maybe I got the wrong person, but he said they didn’t sell them. This whole thing sounds awfully ambitious.

I’m still looking, btw. The R700 spring from Gre-tan didn’t fit properly.

Didn't PTG make the bolts for Stillers actions

They did, I'm not sure who makes them now.

Ambitious? I don't follow you.

I'm not sure about the spring. I'm sure buying a complete bolt from the new Stiller wouldn't be a problem, although in your case probably overkill.

I shoot these three on the same rifle currently

Safe to assume you don’t have a setup that will feed all three, correct?

It's now two companies removed from the one that built your action - and even the OG didn't make the bolt. I just think it's a lot to ask of Horizon to buy a new bolt for an old action and have everything work swimmingly.

Start around minute 30 here as they describe the challenges & reverse engineering when incorporating Stiller into Horizon.

Thanks, I had an email exchange with them and they lead me to believe there wasn't an issue. I better call and actually speak with someone.

Yeah, but do you have anything big?

I have a 18’ fly fishing rod?
Is that big?
