I don't think GAP would be using them for their "inhouse" actions if they were not up to this standard.....

They build our receivers as well. Top of the line actions, smooth as silk, and they are great people to work with. The above pics are how they show up...polished and pretty!

Would love one of these for a 264WM or a 6XC.....NICE actions!
Do they come with a regular bolt handle?
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Do they come with a regular bolt handle? Bob are you talking about the knob, as they have a few different syles and are threaded on..mine is the Tear drop and is one of the smaller ones!

One of these days I want to do a tacticool/LR target rifle on a Defiance... 6.5x284, 6.5x47 Lapua, 7 WSM/SAUM/Dakota, something along those lines. They have so many different options, I'm having a paralysis through analysis situation.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Do they come with a regular bolt handle? Most of the custom clone actions come with very ugly bolt handles - to my eye. About the only one I like is the Holland Tactical handle...but it does appear a bit long. Wish there was a bit more choice when it came to a more traditional looking handle.

FVA/Scenar - R&D Precision bottom metal? If so, any issues with feeding? Any additional action work needed for fit? BTW, very nice rig's/pic's...

Ackleyfan, yeah I was looking for something a bit more traditional.I do like the looks of these actions though. They really are nice! I bet the rifles shoot. So the knobs are all screw on? I have a Bartlein 6mm 9 twist #4 barrel here and trying to decide how to roll...

No additional action work. Defiance's order form has a place for specs of the bottom metal,magazine,trigger, etc. you plan on using. If anything needs attention they will let you know. They have it down.

The bold handles are part of the bolt body and the knobs are screw on. If you knock the bolt handle off a Defiance action. You have a problem. For a chuck gun? Long or shot action? Defiance Rebel single shot RBLP 20 MOA rail Long Barrel tenon 700 tang. Get the small bolt handle tear drop. Open top mag cut out.
