[QUOTE="Arapaho, post: 1751126, member: 111801"] I have both and they are both pretty good. The origin has the standard bolt face and the intention was to rechamber a proof, carbon, 26 inch tube from 7mm-08 to 7mm SAUM. I priced the magnum bolt face and was disappointed at the 175 price tag but that is still the plan. I had a friend make me a bolt knob because I didn't like the one that came with the Bighorn. The action is very nice but not near as smooth as others I have shot. That said, it shoots lights out with my wife's 7-08 barrel and an AG carbon stock. The Defiance Tenacity is on a target setup with a Brux, heavy varmint, chambered in 6.5x47 Lapua. It is one of the slickest actions that I have worked and very well put together. That setup is probably the most accurate rifle I have shot. It is currently sitting in a KRG Bravo chassis until the target stock in complete. There are pros and cons to both but if I was building another short action target rifle, I would buy another Defiance. I kind of like the bolt position for a hunting rifle, on the Bighorn and of course the option of changing to a magnum (but the cost of a bolthead is a joke). I got a good deal on the Bighorn with the standard bolt head and a Trigger Tech trigger from someone that bought several and did not us one or else I would have ordered one with a magnum bolthead. By the way, the Defiance has a Trigger Tech diamond installed. Let me know if you have specific questions and I will answer as honestly as I know how or give my opinion when asked. [/QUOTE]
