The original action produced since 1982, with the basic design unchanged since, but continuous quality improvement as production technology has developed. Basically designed for the Palma or long-range shooter. A single shot cylindrical action, in right or true left handed configuration, although also available as twin port, left bolt/left port, or right bolt/right port.                          Supplied as standard with the Barnard Target trigger, or the action can be supplied with a hanger for attachment of after-market "Remington suitable" triggers.

The receiver is of 4340 chrome/moly/nickel steel through hardened to 38Rc and finish machined after surface hardening to ensure concentricity. 

The bolt carries three forward locking lugs, is equipped with a Sako style extractor and bolt face which can be supplied to accept any case rim up to 0.534"(standard magnum rim).  It too undergoes finish machining after hardening, and is hand lapped to suit its mating receiver. Though not standard, a bolt face plunger type ejector can be included when an action is being ordered.  A common option is the have the receiver cut with Anschutz standard dove-tails. 

RECOIL OPTIONS

      The Model P has several options available to handle recoil                       

- a Remington type lug between receiver and barrel

- a recoil lug fitted into a slot machined into the receiver bottom

- use of a recoil spigot from the action (1/4" X 28 cap screw with the head machined concentric) which fits into a steel bushed hole in a 6061 aluminium bedding block that has been machined to provide 2 parallel points of contact on the action.
