Free Action

[Edds]

If someone offered you a choice between a long Bighorn SR3 mag bolt face and a long Defiance Rebel mag bolt face CRF with a 3 position shroud safety, which would you take?

 

[buffybuster]

The Free One

 

[Temper]

SR3, prefit shouldered barrels are a huge plus. Quality wise, it's a toss up.

 

[flyer]

I'll take the Bighorn, where should I send my FFL details?

 

[MarkLeupold]

You can also change the bolt face on Bighorns

 

[Garett73]

The prefit barrels is a huge plus, but man I love a defiance action

 

[htowncoog]

Bighorn

 

[SuperSneakySniper]

SR3. Simply for the interchangeable bolt heads.

 

[FishDr]

Bighorn. Changeable bolt heads and barrels for the versatility.

 

[b6graham]

i'll add one more bighorn though you should have decided already

 

[Geno C.]

I'll be the odd man out. I don't have a long action Crf in the safe at the moment. That would be my choice.

But both of them are CRF

 

[Geno C.]

Exactly ?

Are pre-fit shouldered barrels better than pre-fit shoulderless (barrel nut) barrels, all else being equal?

 

[bjay]

If both are free..take both! Send me your rejected

do you like the look of a barrel nut? otherwise it doesnt really matter it seems

I don't care about the looks. It seems that the sources of shouldered pre-fits are fewer

yes, there are probably more places that sell barrel nut prefits for savage/remage.

but if you order your new barrels in time its nbd

Another vote here for the BigHorn. As already stated, it the ease of interchangibility.

 

[Edds]

I have zero interest in pre-fit barrels, barrel nuts, or interchangeable bolt heads.

 

[MarkLeupold]

My vote still stands for the Bighorn.

If you're running multiple calibers, you don't have to headspace, just spin your barrel off and put the other one on and torque. Just more convenient.

It's nice having options.

True, I forgot about that

 

[BangBangBlatBlat]

The Defiance if it's the Mauser style extractor and safety. There's a reason safari guns are the way they are.

I had a slight preference before I asked the question. No one gave me any information that made me change my mind so I ordered a Defiance.

 

[Dai Bando]

SR3. Stainless Steel and DLC coated from the factory.

 

[Fred @ Bison Tactical]

Another vote for the Bighorn here...

Then why the fuck did you ask

Lol.

 

[Fred @ Bison Tactical]

I always prefer getting me some free action !

 

[Kevin Brittingham]

SR3. Stainless Steel and DLC coated from the factory.

Still a ridicules 700.

 

[Dogsniper]

Still a ridicules 700.

But you can buy them in left handed?

Interesting way to pose a good question. Well done.

Tell us how the Defiance does in the sand and dirt.

Either would be a good choice. I am leaning Bighorn.

I should have it soon, I ordered it August 21st, 2018 and they gave me an estimated delivery date of April 30, 2019.
