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

For those prices, we are likely going to see people switching back to reworking factoring actions. For a long time, the price to true/blueprint and overhaul a factory action was about the same as a custom, but with the custom you got additional features to make the slight difference worth it.

Now, though? I have Defiance actions and they are phenomenal, but I also have overhauled Remington 700 actions that are every bit as reliable. I could add a bolt release and flute the bolt on top of what's already been done and come out about even with the old price of a Defiance...which would be well under the new price.
