Having recently built two rifles based on the Tenacity, I'm disappointed in this move, my supplier said that the new owners had to raise the price to cover costs but I imagine the price increase is more closely related to cover the cost of purchasing the company and what ever leverage he put on it. As others have said, GA Precision has moved on and they may have been their best customer. The Tenacity is nothing special, just a very good Rem 700 clone, I don't see how anyone can justify the price of $1,600, you can still get a pretty good complete rifle for that price. I suppose all good things must come to an end but the future for Defiance doesn't look too bright.
