Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

It was interesting, at SHOT, Defiance was being slaughtered everywhere you went, and most people were coming up to me, crowing about the CDG, especially those who saw it.

I don't think the Defiance thing will turn out well, and I heard another scary rumor regarding them, but this action is getting all the press. Let's just say he wants things for his MOA rifles and barrels are next

Good on Ted with this, at $899 everyone should grab one or maybe two

The best deal i've seen in quite some time. Ted is going to sell a mtric fuck ton of these. I know looks don't translate to performance, but with prices going up, the flutes will definitely draw in the crowd that loves the flutes on the defiance, lone peak, impact, etc.

Patience is always the name of the game on a product launch. I got Archimedes serial #4, the CDG will be worth the wait.
Yeah, I’ve resigned myself to the possibility. I have other guns and hardly have time to shoot anyway 😄. Also a little nervous about buying a 1st gen product, but as someone said above they’ve been doing this a while. And damn… what other custom action of any flavor at all can you find under a grand anyway?
 
So what's everyone planning to build with this action?

I'm thinking a 6mm prs build for myself.
Yes











I plan on purchasing mine with .473 & .588 bolt heads(my father has a 700 in 7RM so that’s already in the family). I’d like the first 2 barrels to be in 260 Rem and 300 Norma. The sky is really the limit after that.

I’ll have an ‘ol gray beard barrel as well, throated a bit long to maximize its potential
I’m using the Serengeti reamer, got a whole bunch of 208’s that need somewhere to go.

The rest will be:
CDG long action
26” Hardy Carbon barrel, 1.25” straight taper 1:9 twist with a Heathen G2 5 port brake
Trigger tech special 2-stage
MDT XRS with enclosed forend
March 4.5-28x52 with ARC M10 QD-L mount

Lol, I don’t have anything resembling a plan yet. But I’ll figure it out and it will include a .30-06 barrel

I'm really considering swapping this in for the gen 1 nucleus I have built up for my NRL Hunter 6.5CM build. I haven't done any load development and this looks like like a sweeter deal. Can honestly flip for gen 1 nuke for close to this to a buddy

If you sell your Gen1 Nuke to a buddy for close to this price instead of telling him about the CDG sale price... you aint much of a buddy.
 
Thinking of building a target gun for my brother's 40th bday. Looking at this in a red JAE G4, bartlien 24" .308, and a ZCO on top. His birthday is two years off so I probably should wait. 😁 maybe I'll get one for myself for a .223 since I don't have a bolt action .223 yet.

You could get it for his bday then thoroughly test it to make sure everything works for 2 yrs then give it to him lol
 
I'm interested to know if these will handle the 33 and 37xc as well.
The option to do a Lapua/XC (plus all the smaller rounds) is the main reason I’m getting this action. When I emailed about potentially chambering it in one, they didn’t tell specifically tell me it wouldn’t.. and I’ve read of a few people building them on factory 700s as it is. It might pressure out sooner than other beefier actions though from what I’ve read on similarly threaded actions in these cartridges. Time will tell I suppose!
