  • Hopefully this video clears up any questions you have. This may not cover 100% of the options, calibers, or instances, but it's a good starting point. If you want to build the most accurate rifle possible, a custom action is a must have. It is the base. You wouldn't want to build a new house on a poor foundation, so don't do that with your rifle.

    They are great but screwed a lot of people when they raised there prices $500 on actions that were already on order. I would look at Mack Brothers or Pierce as an alternative rather than give Bob Beck more money to go on hunts.

    I’ve bought 2 Tenacity actions (one stainless, one nitride) and an Impact Precision action. I love the Tenacity, especially with the nitride, but it’s hard to buy a Tenacity for $1600 when you can get an Impact with an integral rail, AW compatible, and nitride finish for $1,400. If Defiance would bring the price back down around $1,200-1,300, I would probably go back to buying them.

    • @michaelpope7642
      @michaelpope7642 Před rokem +1

  • @troyelder56
    @troyelder56 Před rokem +3

    There’s a lot of competition in custom actions now with Zermatt, ARC, and now a big newcomer Aero precision. Honestly i think the differences between these will be customer service, feature set, barrel compatibility, and the big one PRICE! Sometimes you get what you pay for other times it’s diminishing returns.
    I don’t believe these actions have interchangeable bolt heads which is a big deal to me.

    • @ddhi
      @ddhi Před rokem

      i can say about #2, but for #1, Defiance XM is Rem 700 footprint, but neither Rem 700 SA nor Rem 700 LA specification. So basically the space between action screws are different and you won't be install the XM to Rem 700 SA inlet, and you have to purchase stocks that have inlet specifically for Defiance XM. This is also true for their XM+ that has been released recently. To be honest, i hate manufactures making their own 'proprietary' specification in names of 'giving customer more choices'. It indeed limites your choice compare to the vast after market support for 'standard' Rem 700 SA / LA actions, and will end up costing you more.

      MDT ACC Premier and XLR Element 4.0 have inlet for Defiance XM. I actaully dislike those 'medium action' specifications, including Defiance XM and Zermatt Medium. You choose something non 'standard', you limit your choice and end up paying more. For 'standard', I mean Rem SA and Rem LA CIP.
