Impact action 75 degree
- Thread starter clefairy

But impact 737r is the best and supremest action ever, why would they even make a 75° action?

It's just a 75deg bolt that drops into existing receivers. It'll have a bit heavier lift than the 90deg. Though they are likely releasing a roller ball cocking piece 75deg in the future.
Because there’s some weirdos that think they won’t time out on a prs stage due to piss poor time management if they have 15 or 30° less bolt to open.
Or they just prefer shorter throw bolts. Big hands and big scopes need all the clearance they can get.
Now that I’ve switched to primarily 60 deg actions, I wouldn’t buy a 90 ever again. I do love my Impacts though, so I bought the 75 to at least get closer to my desired feel.

It's a new bolt, replaces the one you have should you be longing for a 75 degree throw. A roller version will be released at a later time.
Pretty cool that Impact made sure to take care of existing owners without making everyone buy a brand new action. I don’t own any of their actions but this kind of decision on their part means I will someday. I support companies that put in the work and effort to support their customers with affordable and sensible upgrades that don’t require starting over with a whole new system.

Oh yeah the f class boys and Saturday plinkers are always saying they need 75° I forgot. Or is it the benchrest dudes that are needing nascar repeaters?
Youre gonna lose your shit when you find out about 60 degree actions.
and my 50° Cadex
I’m probably talking out my ass, but there may be people who have rifles and (gasp) don’t compete.
Shut your whore mouth!
This is what the forum needs, more people with a sense of “banter humor”. Your reply was funny!
At least I think you have banter humor
Bro be careful she'll have you thrown in jail even though you are innocent
Does the pitch from 90* to 75* actually do anything different other then just the “feel”
Will give you a bit more clearance between the bolt and ocular/diopter. Since the lug positions and such aren't changed and bolt body is same you don't get any other the other feeding perks some other actions get with shorter throw and/or larger bolts.
More area to pick up rounds from magazine (fatter bolt, or something like a lug at 6 o'clock). Generally you'll only see it matter with AW mags at times (hence why some very reputable smiths still only set up two lug actions for AICS).
The difference/benefits are fairly marginal and you'll find some will debate that two lugs bolts do just as well.
Saturday plinkers I mentioned them already, they’re the ones dying for the 75
Is this a deathbeforedismount alt account?
Not much more to it. If you situate a lug at 6 o'clock then it "reaches" further down into a mag.
This post by Mr. Cross gives a very good explanation:
Why does no one make AW magazines
Seems like numerous aftermarket mfr's make AICS cut magazines, but nobody makes AW cut magazines, does AI have a patent on AW? Is it possible to modify an AICS mag to fit AW magwells? In comparing the two the AW doesn't seem to be that far off from the AICS.

Honestly, the tall throw is the only thing that I don't like about it. I still run an impact, but it's not my favorite because of that.
The feel of a 60deg throw is just way better IMO.
Not as far as I can tell. That extra .002seconds ain't gona make one bit of difference. You could make up some bullshit like that rifle doesn't move off target as much, but I would say that's much more dependent on how smooth the action is rather than and extra 30deg on the bolt lift.
I’m liking this thread. At least for the impact it seems like a trade-off between smooth, light bolt lift for the 90 degree version vs a heavier bolt lift but a shorter throw and more scope clearance.
Hard to argue. Doing the same amount of work in less space is going to require more force.
Definitely always going to require more force. As far as the moving off target part, that's all technique. You can easily stay on target with a lift as heavy as an AI if you use the proper technique.
But, it's just like a heavy trigger. You can make good shots, just requires better technique. So anything that requires less skill/technique is going to add consistency to most shooters without a ton of work. Since most shooters aren't going to be at the top of the good fundamentals mountain.

Anyone got their hands on one?
I have a lot of reps on a Tikka, being 70 deg I'm quite keen to know how these go. have only recently changed to an impact action

I have two. Got one of the first batch, which needed some design changes which Impact implemented for more compatibility with certain chassis/stocks. I now have them in both my 737 PRS rig and NBK Hunter rig. They feel great. Barely notice any increase in bolt lift, but have much more clearance to my scope for my big hands. Love em. I'm hoping they'll make a 223 bolt in 75 degree, but I'm guessing that is way, way down the priority list.
