I buit a 6mm Creedmoor on one because I couldn't find a decent priced Remington. I'm glad it worked out that way now, it's a very smooth and solid feeling action and I think it's a value for what you get

I got one, it misses picking up a round at times. I was told to "tap" them to seat them better? When it picks up a round it is very smooth. Little wiggle side to side when bolt is "open". Overall decent action.

Kind of an amazing industry that has sprung up building actions. Cool to see and have choices. And most of them are making hard to find lefthand actions. I've built on my last Rem 700 I do think. Now to find a pair of skinny jeans that will fit just right.

After retiring from the MC I have to fight to keep from turning my old regular pants from turning into skinny pants I did the same this year. Got tired of having to spend a bunch of Smith cost for working over a 70 action, ordered a Defiance with 3 pos safety and CRF and I believe I’ll probably break even between having to find a donor gun then having the smith make them right.

I've got one. LA Mag that I built a 6.5PRC off of. Solid action, Smooth. Just not the ticket for me. The smallish ejection port makes it difficult - damn near impossible - to load the second and subsequent rounds (6.5PRC) in the magazine (BDL-style). Using DBM negates this problem but adds weight.
My Bighorn Origin will probably go down the road in the very near future, either as a bare-bones action, or maybe as a barreled action to the right person.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

I Did see they are switching to stainless. +$50 to price if, IRC. They have indeed - still Nitrided though. I got in line.

Scott- For a bit more I like the Defiance AnTi plus it’s like 6-7 oz lighter. Not a thing wrong with a good 700 especially the RR prefix but hey variety is the spice of life....
