Is this the end of Defiance? My pre23-beck action just went up in value.

Holy smokes. New pricing just gave other manufacturers more business.
Basic tenacity from $995 to now $1500
Got to get his ROI.
We all talk about powder prices and primer prices… is this more of the same?
They can

That's just stupid.

That's just stupid.

I guess if you have a 1/2-1year long waiting list you better up the price right! Oh, the good old days of the 1000 dollar action.

Let's hope all the others don't follow suit

I bought one last week for $900. No way in helllllllllo I'll pay $1600 for a Tenacity lol

They won't.

When Bob Beck bought McMillan he upped the prices at least 25% also.

I believe Defiance is going to have a 15 minimum order now also.

Guys guys guys. Come on, we're looking at this the wrong way. I just told my wife my Defiances in the gun safe just doubled in price!! Great investment on my part!!lol

But in all seriousness, too rich for my blood now. Will have to keep scouring the estate sales and pawn shops.

I better check the classifieds before the sellers find out.

 

[tonyf3]

well they sure own a chunk of the critical components supply chain now.
Maybe this is good, but if we see smaller rifle builders stuggling to compete this will not be good for anyone.

I knew there was something going on when I saw this a while back. They had barreled actions for $1,500 that were basically a Tenacity with CRF and mechanical blade ejector.

I hope it doesn't ruin it for the gang at Defiance. Don't care about the Beck fella, but there are a bunch of nice people that work at Defiance and Badrock. Answered a lot of my dumb questions and treated me well. Wish them the best, but it looks like it is Mack Brothers, ARC and Kelbly form here. Sad!
