Nosler rifles?

[Cleftwynd]

I have been looking at the Nosler rifles online lately, but can't find a lot of info on them. Who makes them and what action do they use?

Does anyone here have any hands on experience with one?

Regards, Bill

I have handled one, and was not overly impressed given the high price tag. The action greatly resembles a Howa action.

The engineers at nosler copied a lot of qualities from good actions Howa, Rem 700 old Sako actions..then added PTG bottom metal, rifle basix trigger, Basner stock, cerakote, Pacnor barrel

I was looking at the legend, with decent wood. Hmm, I'll have to wait until I can see one first hand.

If you think you like the howa action there is a place in Vancouver that brings in the howa barrelled actions for a reasonable price, I just priced out a s/s 6.5x55 from them for 620$, throw on a stock of your choice and I'd bet you have a pretty sweet rig for not a lot of money. I really cant understand why more people don't own this brand of rifle.

I owned a 300WSM when they first came out up here and it was $1999 back then (Shooters Choice, AB). I never shot it, and it became an auction item at the Sheep Show in Red Deer.
Frankly, I would buy another one at that price, it was well put together and was a very nice weight and balance. I have no idea what the cost is now.
