I totally agree, we have plethora of best choices depending on your preferences. I am a die hard Impact shooter, but for this my use case drove a different direction. What I think is important, another will decry as being meaningless. And guess what, with a few exceptions we will both be right.I don't want to be rude but I think it needs to be said:
I don't think there's a "Best" one these days. There are pro/cons for each custom out there but pretty much every custom on the market feels very good or downright awesome, every one is plenty capable of being true and accurate, etc
If you want a very light bolt lift then you're likely going to want a 2 lug action and probably a classic 90 degree throw more than a 75, though I will remind folks that the way a factory TIkka feels has been a reference point for a LOT of customs the last 3 decades even though it's a 70 deg throw and it's not a "custom" action.
Ignition consistency is pretty well understood as is headspace and thread fit consistency.
If you check out the list of actions on our website it's a pretty comprehensive list of stuff where you don't have to worry, you're going to get a very nice action.

No, Tikka does not, it's a heavier lift due to its 70° cocking angle VS the 90° over traditional rem700 style actions. I've had impact and still have a few fuzion actions. I prefer the LP over impact myself.To be honest I was leaning towards impact 737 and lone peak. Has the tikka got a lighter bolt lift than these? The reason I didn’t consider tikka was because I wanted a 700 platform so I had a wider choice of stocks
Well don’t just leave us hanging…..why is the LP superior to the Impact?If you’re tossing up between the LP and impact - go the LP for sure.
I go the other way, the 737R is close to perfect.If you’re tossing up between the LP and impact - go the LP for sure.
Of course lift forces will be less with a longer lever, physics. Open a kelbly atlas tac. With that long ass handle their bolt lift is effortless!I made my tikka feel lighter than my origin by putting a longer bolt handle and knob on it. But I'm sure a lone peak or impact would feel even better with the right handle
Still ImpactLP is like the Impact without the hitch in the bolt lift. It’s not like it’s a dealbreaker, but if you’re gonna buy one new .. I’d take the LP.
And yeah, I owned both of course
That's the nice thing about all the options available! Everyone has a different preference.Still Impact
Exactly opinions are like assholes everyone has one and the all stink to some degree.That's the nice thing about all the options available! Everyone has a different preference.

I agree with @Hennig, I sold my impact cuz I couldn't stand the hitch when opening and closing the impact. Run it fast it's much less pronounced, but it feels like a multi stage cocking cam if you run em slow. Prob why I'll never own another.
And yes, my trigger was properly timed......
