Decided I'm going to use stimulus money to get an action to build off of. I've decided I want a 300 terminator, which is basically a 300 lapua improved with a defensive edge throat for those who don't know. I have had a defiance action before and I *really* liked it, and I prefer the bare metal finish they come with. However, after some chats with Jeff Broz, he recommends getting an action that has a 1.1 tenon instead of 1.0625.
My requirements (must haves) in no order
Answers to the basic questions every thread starter is asked:
My requirements (must haves) in no order
- Integral Recoil lug
- .725 or larger bolt
- Under lets say $1500 before tax, I'm not looking for any titanium actions.
- 1.1 tenon
- Integral rail with at 20 or more moa built in
- Bare metal finish (not at all necessary I just prefer that look, and the ability to coat it whatever color I want later. Not at all a dealbreaker)
Answers to the basic questions every thread starter is asked:
- Goal weight is 10-13 pounds unscoped. Closer to 10 is nice but wouldn't mind if its 13, but no higher than 14.
- Use case will be long range elk and mule deer
- Barrel will probably weigh around 5.5-6 pounds if I go steel barrel, but I could go carbon if the action gets too heavy.
- Stock will be manners EH1-A
- The gun will be shot as a single shot. Doesn't matter if the action is sold as one or not, I'll just single feed, so magazine length isnt a big deal.
- I'm not recoil sensitive but I will be putting on a good brake to be able to more easily spot my own shots.
