Action?

[wisconsinteacher]

I'm in the market to build a 22 Creed and need an action. I'm not sure what to buy and not break the bank. My top vote is to buy a Tikka and just swap the barrel out. If you were to start the process, what action would you look at?

Tikka is the winner - but getting the barrel off is a pain in the rear.

I've heard that they hire gorillas to put them on at the factory.

Tikka is probably the first choice. As others have mentioned getting the action and barrel apart can be a chore. You'll need a few tools that will add to your final cost. You can buy stripped tikka actions from J&A Outdoors but you'll still need a stock.

I'd consider a Zermatt Origin or Aero Precision Solus but they'll require the need for a trigger, stock, and accessories.

If you don't care about barrel nuts then you could go with a Savage or Howa action though a Savage is basically the same price as a Tikka these days so why bother with basically no aftermarket parts.
