I have a BVSS 6.5 x 284 Norma. The barrel says Model 12 and since it is a long action I am assuming the action is a 112. Anyway, I machined an aluminum V-block similar to the one Whidden sells, except it is for the long action. I left out the magazine, epoxied the V-block in the stock and shoot it as a single shot.

I am satisfied with the rifle and would like to build one very similar to it in 270 Winchester.

Which action would you choose for the new rifle? I want to get a Shilen 24" varmint contour barrel. I had thought one of the new target actions would make the choice of stocks easier, but I am not sure about having to remove the bolt each time I want to remove a loaded round. I would use this rifle for hunting and shooting paper with.
