Copper anti-seize grease for the barrel, Rem Oil for the bolt, and some Gun Butter for the locking lugs is what I've been using. Works well so far.Has oil/grease been discussed in this thread? About to get mine and put it together. What are you guys using?
What’d you have to mod to get the Impact in a whiskey 3?
I have a thread in the DIY section just for this. I have the x-ray.What’d you have to mod to get the Impact in a whiskey 3?
It doesn't ever puke on you, you can run it with your pinkie and barrels ship to your door.What makes Impact so much different from the other actions out there in the same bracket?

I you have to mill out the trigger guard shelf?, and have couple lower profile screws for the trigger guard and trigger hanger for the action

Exactly. There's quite a few actions on the market that check some of the boxes on a modern wish list. There's a shorter list that check ALL the boxes.Those qualities are not unique to the Impact. There's certainly a few others that do all of the above.
However, having on the shelf shouldered barrel pre-fits ready to go is a nice advantage that not many other actions enjoy.
Is anyone running magazines with no binder plate in these actions in 6.5mm Creemoor? I've got a 737r on order that will be going in a MPA competition chassis, and I'm debating the binder vs. no-binder plate magazines (Accurate brand). I don't want to have to notch feed ramps, but would prefer the longer COAL without binder plate for loading solids. If it's going to come at the expense of reliability for things like 147gr/143gr eld-m/eld-x though, I'll just get the binder magazines. I saw post talking about this:
but that was for 6BR with a spacer kit, and another two that weren't cartridge specific:
Would that indicate with 6.5mm CM it'll be no issue for factory ammunition as well as longer handloads? That's how I'm reading it, but would like to confirm before I buy a bunch of magazines that won't work. Hands-on experience would be awesome! Thanks.
I'm running MDT mags with NO binder plate in my Impact action, 6.5Creed with 140 Berger Hybrids loaded longer. Work great.
Exactly. There's quite a few actions on the market that check some of the boxes on a modern wish list. There's a shorter list that check ALL the boxes.
Would appreciate that list.
CRF, integral rail and lug, prefits, changeable bolt heads, and good customer service are on my wish list. I suppose I could live without a few, but those are the boxes I would like to check. Runs AW magazines would be a plus.
Anything else I should be adding?
Thanks in advance.
There's one deviant ELITE for sell here.its crf integrated rail and lug..it feed very smoth and works with AW and any aics center feed mags...Would appreciate that list.

Could someone share the print for the barrel tenon to machine a bbl blank for a impact precision prefit? Thanks!
Here ya go. 1-1/16-16 3a thread. .705/.150 counterbore. .950 headspace.
Any competent gunsmith can chamber your barrel for an Impact, so no you do not have to stick with Impact for new barrels. That is just another convenient option. Impact keeps chambered barrels in stock in popular match and hunting calibers. These chambered barrels are called “Impact by Stuteville”. This allows the end user to order an in stock chambered barrel and have it shipped to his door for them to install themselves.
I have mine put together, got the ZCO 5-27 in yesterday. It's shooting quite well, I'm averaging .39" CTC 5-shot groups (shot 4 of them today after sighting in) with 147gr factory Hornady ELD-M, and this is only my second box of ammunition. I'm sure I'll get more accuracy out of it with reloads and once I get more familiar with the feel of the rifle.

Have you measured a group without the Saker attached? Just curious.
I don’t have any first hand exp with the accurate wsm mags but I have ran a modified aics mag without issues.For you guys that are shooting a 6.5 PRC, have you ran into any issues with an impact and accurate wsm mag combo?
Also, does anyone have any insight into whether or not we will see a long action in late FY 19 or early FY 20?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for clarity on the LAs. That's enormously helpful. |
I would email them he usually answered within a day or so whenever I emailed a question.I have heard great things about these actions and was interested in speaking with them. I called and spoke to a very nice lady left my information twice slowly as the individual that could have answered my questions was not in.
I'm still waiting for a return call...

Roger that I called again yesterday and spoke with the woman I originally left my message with last week and she stated " He hasn't gotten back to you yet ? I stated no mam and she said that she will pull his shirt tail hard Monday morning as he was heading to a match...
Looking forward to speaking with him and getting one in my hands

Lol!You sound like a fun customer with your passive aggressive tone in each message.
I’ve gotten incredibly quick responses when emailing them, and very fast service.

You don't like insanely well machined, accurate, feature rich, reliable actions? Hmm maybe you should try Remington actions...
I get that your unhappy about something with Impact, either something happened with their customer service or you dont think their action lives up to the hype ? Could you please elaborate a little context with your hatred ?I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM...SORRY GENTLEMEN NOT MY CUP OF TEA...

almost well machined. It will earn that title when they stop delivering action with shitty tool mark on the bolt face...I still don't get it why they leave it uncoated...
I love the naked boltfaceTolerances man. Why do you think every impact action headspaces exactly the damn same and they make pre-fits for them? When you start throwing DLC or other surface coatings to a bolt face you can change the headspace depending on how thick the coating goes on. Only way to control it is to have it machined and leave it.
What on earth does not having a coated bolt face have to do with how well it’s machined anyway?
