Custom Actions Under 1k

[Mike J]

What actions do you guys like for under a grand? I've been looking at the Big Horn Origin but I'd like some alternative thoughts. Will go towards my first custom rifle.

Bighorn Origin or Defiance Tenacity would get my vote.

I am not a CRF guy, had a couple big names, not for me. My vote is Defiance Tenacity, I was around one the other day and it was sweet. My .02

Kelby Atlas and Defiance Tenacity are both right in that ballpark price range. I personally would chose the Origin having had great success with my TL3.

Stillers are pretty hard to beat.

I was back and forth between the Atlas and Tenacity on a current BDL LA mag build. I finally went with the Atlas because of the mechanical ejector and I found one with feed rails for a BDL that was nitrided.

I like my tenacity a lot so far. I've never touched an origin or even seen one, but I didn't like my tl3. I'd look at the tenacity and kelbly personally.

Nucleus Gen2 Bolt Action

nucleus has been a direct competitor against bighorn for awhile. I've haven't got around to one yet but a lot of the guys on the hide have good things to say about them.

Stiller tac
Gunwerks
Defiance tenacity

I've never had hands on the werk or tenacity but I own a Stiller and shilen. Best action I've ever felt in my hands was a deviant. I will own one someday.

I had the TL3. I really like that action. I'm not sure how it would compare to the origin. I own a tenacity and that's a great action. Very smooth and fast.

 

[SteelBanger]

Defiance Tenacity or Gunwerks GRB, with the edge to the Tenacity.

 

[JAYgs8163]

I just picked up a Tenacity Gen1 LA Mag bolt face on clearance at Area 409 for $775

 

[SteveBurton]

The Stiller TAC actions and the Defiance Tenacity get my vote.

 

[MLN1963]

I like my tenacity a lot so far. I've never touched an origin or even seen one, but I didn't like my tl3. I'd look at the tenacity and kelbly personally.

What didn't you like about the TL3. You may be the first I've heard of that didn't like a TL3. I've considered getting a DLC coated one myself.
