They are superbly built, stout actions with a 3-lug design and exceptional tolerances. My only complaint is that you need to be careful about locating your scope. If you use a large scope and it sits too far back, it can interfere with removing the bolt. It is a minor issue and can be entirely avoided.
They are a terrific action, and their trigger is incredible.
Barnard does make a tactical style rifle, and I have seen one in the flesh... very nice gun! Chat with Robertson Composites (The Canadian Distributor) and ask for Ian.
