Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats For the money

BigHorn:

CRF, floating and replaceable bolt head, tool-free firing pin removal, 700 footprint, 700 stocks, integral recoil lug, pinned 20 or 30 MOA base, choice of bolt handles, choice of finish, and pre-fit barrels available.

It really is the best combination of parts for a versatile rig.

I'm in the process of building a custom on a Defiance Tenacity and the part I like best is the availability of pre-fit barrels, mine is a Proof 20" 308. Took less than an hour to fully assemble the rifle once I cobbled together all of the parts.

Not opposed to Defiance (Nesika). My money goes to Borden.

For the money, the Bighorn Origin is my vote. I like the CRF and the removable bolt heads (versus needing a whole new bolt to change calibers). Lots of action for the money.

I just saw this again. I didn’t say that correctly. If I can remember what I was thinking last week it was something that he’s wanting might be offered in factory form without building. I just didn’t choose my words well. I certainly understand building one for just because too.

there are several,many big names.as far as the overall best with all the internal workings.borden actions are the best.many excellent actions,i own defiance,lone peak and stiller prec.jims are a notch above.

I'm having Dallas Lane build me a 280 AI using a Defiance Hunter action which was a couple of hundred bucks more than the Defiance Rebel action. It has the rail milled onto the receiver.

I had Jim See build me a 6.5 GAP 4S Mountain Rifle using a Pierce Titanium action. It shoots one hole with different weight bullets but the action is kind of tough.

For the money......Kelbly Atlast Tactical. If you wanna shave weight, Nanook...bomb proof..prometius.



I have an Impact.....not gunna lie. I like my Kelbly Atlas Tactical better thus far. Maybe just because it's more familiar to me. Time will tell. May end up selling the Impact and buying a Prometius for my comp rig.

I have around 2k rounds through my Atlas and it's been flawless. Super smooth easy running action. I also shoot on a very dusty/sandy range...

The Kelblys are awesome people too.

if buying again I would get a defiance action. I have a bat machine action, but defiance just has more options.

"True" your current 700 action, and you have a "custom", without tons of money....unless ofcourse you have tons of money.
