I wanted to build out a rifle for PRS, but I also don't want to tinker that much as I don't have time, equipment, or any real gunsmithing skills. I was looking at going with an action that will accept a prefit and with Proof discounts, I'd go with an action that accepts Proof prefits.
It looks the 3 readily available ones are -
Impact 737R
BigHorn TL3 / Origin
Defiance Ruckus
Curtis -but Frank keeps talking about feeding issues with Curtis actions so I'll stick with the top 3.
They're only +/- $200 from each other so I don't see price being much of a factor. I looked around at some threads around the Ruckus vs the Impact and people say you really can't go wrong, but actions have different feel and to get behind one. I probably won't be able to get behind one until middle of July.
Having not shot anything centerfire but my Tikka T3X and my Vudoo, what exactly ends being that drastically different between the 3 actions?
I prefer not to have to do any special inletting on any of my current stocks, so that might easily just point me to a certain action too, though with a MDT ACC, and the new Manners PRS-TCS it looks like their Rem700 chassis should just work. I run the MDT ACC on the Vudoo and have a Manners on order.
Trigger wise, most likely will stick with my Huber 2-stage, or switch to a TT DIamond.
I plan on running 6CM as I don't handload at all. Which is also why I went with something that can source cheaper barrels and not have to a smith to cut/install it.
Thanks!
