The Wichita action is a good strong action, it was built as one of the early custom Benchrest actions. All were found to be very straight and in there day were the pick of the top shooters.........Kiwi

I have 3 Wichita Rifles. All are excellent. Actions are straight and true. I'm on the 3d barrel on one of my Wichitas all shot outstandingly accurately

Default ditto

Ditto on great actions, I have 2, one an old BR rifle chambered in 6mm Seeley Masker Wasp and the other is one of their Classics with the hex barrel in 222Rem. Short bolt throw with the 3 lugs and very strong, bolt diameter is huge.

Default Wichita 1375 Action

I have one that I use in a Rail Gun and a Cruiser stock. Mine is a cone bolt .439 head size for either my 22PPC or 6PPC barrels. Mine is in the white with a Jewell trigger. Not as common with the amount of other Custom actions out there.
