Finally got my build fully put together between rifle, chassis, scope, and suppressor. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and more pleased with how well it shoots DTACS. The heavy weight is a nice plus for PRS matches.
As far as the action itself goes, it's hands down my favorite action I've laid hands on. I had some early issues because I'm apparently too dull to figure out a trigger hangar - I installed it upside down and then backwards before trying the right way last - but once I actually put it together properly it's been fantastic. Super smooth cycling straight out of the box, and it stays smooth regardless of if it's bone dry, drenched in oil, properly lubed, or filthy from shooting in the blowing dirt of Colorado farmlands (which sadly included all the freshly planted seed). It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the Nucleus I had previously, but it's an action that just works and that's the reason I bought it.
My only complaint would be that the partial cock on close and heavy firing pin spring affects the adjustment range on my TriggerTech Diamond. With the Nucleus I had it set to about 10oz without problems and it was fully drop safe down to below 4oz, but with the heavy spring on the Impact I have to set the trigger to about 14oz and that's as low as I can go without making it unsafe (setting the firing pin off when you close the bolt hard and fast).
Rifle specs:
Impact Precision 737R Action
Krieger 27" Heavy Varmint barrel chambered in 6BR by Keystone Accuracy
XLR Envy Heavy Fill Chassis with accessories (barricade stop, mercury buffer tube, weight kit, and a custom chunk of lead)
S&B PMII LP w/ T3 reticle and 6MIL Spuhr mount
Thunder Beast Ultra 7
