I'm on my third build with Defiance, the first two Tenacity actions were under $1k, this last one, a Ruckus GA Hunter, was almost $1.9k, it will be my last Defiance receiver, there are simply too many other good options to pay that price. Maybe they were losing money before the sale but I don't see how they stay in business very long with these prices.
I had no idea Defiance actions had gone up so much. I had a 26" 7mm-08 built on a Tenacity action 2 yrs ago, I think the action was right around $1k....can't remember for sure.
Here is (Eric Stecker) with his sister trying to buy and sell real estate from 3yrs ago. You wonder why Defiance, Berger/Capstone, Nammo AS (Lapua) and anything else associated with him means bend over and take it, well, you make the choice where you will spend your money. Operational Improvements, what a joke! Eliminate options, control competition through acquisition and then bend your customer over. His business model improvements seem to dictate higher than market prices on just about anything he is involved with. Walt Berger's grandson, sure, but caring about the customer or making it feasible for distributors to make a profit are the least of his/his investors concerns.
I think these two taught our current Pres/VP to pitch a sale!
