I don't get all the grief being dished out on this thread. It's a legit question. The competition lists their specs. If you hear rumours it would be nice to rule them out as BS before dropping 8-10K.
For that type of money Id be doing all the research I could as well. Heck I do that with everything I buy.
Read up on the OP s 50 cal posts. These questions are from a legit potential customer.

I have had the opportunity to shoot the rifles you mention in a field setting and have no doubt PGWDTI makes a quality rifle however to say well beyond AI and better that a Tac 50 is a stretch. Can you provide us with the evidence to back that up.

Do they actually build 50 cals? Thought they weren't building their own actions yet... So all they would give you would be bat's specs and charge you 100 bucks to do it
The 1st 50 cal actions I built were made in 2004. Very simple but incredibly strong single shots based on the Eastridge action that my friend Larry Lyle owner of Eastridge State arms makes.
The shell holder style as mentioned is very strong, but slow and has recieved only some desire. Most seem to feel a repeater is desireable for some strange reason. Apparently "look cool" factor is 1 of the more important prerequisites to buying a rifle. A repeater is much more expensive to make and anyone who figures a fast and accurate follow up shot is possible with a 50 is sadly uneducated about the caliber.
We have been very busy the last 2 years making actions inhouse that rival the best offerings of Neskia, Defiance, BAT, Surgeon and some that don't come to mind right now.
We are NOT currently building an action big enough for a 50, but the plans are to do so in the New Year by scaling up our Maverick action.
Currently to fill the needs of some of our clients desire for an extremely accurate custom built 50 we are using BAT actions but can supply a Defiance action if requested.
Once we get dug out on the backlog of Infidel and Maverick actions we have on the go, the Beast will be going into production.

That must mean that people didn't see the pgw 50 actions in production with their own eyes... Hmph
Same old sh!t on this site. Some things NEVER change. The PGW 50 works perfectly. With a 2lb nightforce scope, NF titanium rings and an empty mag, the gun weighs 29lbs which is easily packable for a 50. The Cadex chassis is flawless and probably the best stock and mag system I've ever handled. My gun has now seen over 300rnds and still works and cycles perfectly. That's all you need to know.
This is the SS they use for the Coyote & Timberwolf.
There's no indication of what the .50BMG action consists of on the website...
These are the only posts that had anything useful to add to this thread...
Beside mine !

And you will notice that the only thing done to the bars prior to the heat treating is cutting them to a length of about .100 over finished...
They are through hardened not surface treated. The bolts are 4140 and are Nitrided. This material is the same material and hardened to the same specification as the Timberwolf and COYOTE by the finest heat treating establishment in Canada to a rigid specification that is suitable for the intended purpose.
Timberwolf actions comprised of the same material and treated to the same specification have undergone a variety of destructive tests all performed by independent accredited facility. To date the 50 cal has not undergone these tests however we have produced hundreds of them under Military contract and dozens of them for civilian use and they have all worked well.
