What trigger mate?
Looks like a pro curve diamond. I had to shave someof the mini chassis so the safety arm would fit

What trigger mate?
Has anyone noticed that the Tempest action has disappeared from both OTM and Core ?
Are they stopping production...because I'm going to have to buy one asap if so.
Hell i didn't notice but those were the two venues i used to get one. Best to ask George.
Interested to hear what you find out from GAP. I don't know why those companies would stop selling them if that isn't the case - Unless they weren't selling well so those companies wanted to free up their shelves for other products?Just emailed...will let you know what response I get. Hoping at least GA will distribute them.

Regardless, I've told my wife that they are possibly going to stop production and therefore I will need to purchase another as soon as possible.I don't see them going away any time soon.
Same...wife had no say in this one though lol. This is the only 3 lug that checks all my needs.Regardless, I've told my wife that they are possibly going to stop production and therefore I will need to purchase another as soon as possible.
Same here mate. I considered the vector but selected the current calibre so I wouldn't need to switch barrels. I will be very boring with the next build. Literally going to replicate the current one but use a carbon barrel instead of a steel with the intent of it becoming the backcountry hunting gun and backup comp gun.Same...wife had no say in this one though lol. This is the only 3 lug that checks all my needs.
Still no word. Might call tomorrow, i hate pestering companies but seems like the only way to get any answer from GAP.
Fear not...no fights need to be started with the wives and no couches need to become beds!
"Definitely not being discontinued, I'm not sure if they quit stocking them or if they were just out of stock. But we are absolutely still selling them and building on them. "
Received that email response today. Sorry if I caused a panic...was just odd to me the only 2 distributors (aside from GAP themselves) stopped carrying them on their website at the same time.
Wow, nice buck!!
I see you made sure he was dead this year! Very nice Buck, Will. That neck says it all. You still in TN? Those fields looks awful long for around here.
BTW, glad to see you've broken your shitty luck streak with this built. Its beautiful.
Us early adopters "beta tested" some triggers, which was the main issue people had with these. A lot of new triggers hit the market during this actions roll out, and it hurt. (Oddly enough, now there are entire threads about new action x and what trigger works.) That, and the learning curve with how to properly reassemble the FP assembly after paint. I think many that were put together by personal Smith's, not at GAP, suffered some teething issues that gave shooters mixed feelings about the action. Why pay $1300+ this when I can get xxx and nobody's bitching. (Yet)
Getting mine sorted was one email to George asking a question about spare parts and shipping my bolt in for inspection. It's been rock solid since, with the exception of a POS Timney trigger sear wearing and not cocking after 300 rounds. Easy fix buy a tuned M700 went back in, back in game.
Edit: flu has my grammar worse than normal
Same here mine was before they even coated them. Though i did have light strikes and have rolled through a good bit of triggers, Xmark pro, timney CE single stage, Timney CE 2-stage, BnA tacsport 2-stage, Huber 2-stage, and Ive since moved to triggertech across the board and never looked back. Also had some inlet issues but that isn’t any detriment to the action. I don’t shoot mine as much as most cause i just don’t have time anymore but I’ve got 1300rds on it without much issue at all.
Ive personally done the work for 2 of my own tempest builds, one early version uncoated and my latest melonited one. Never had single issue with either as long as i paid attention to firing pin protrusion.
Only inlet "issue" i had was to file/mill a small notch for the rear of the trigger hanger in a standard 700 inlet.
Ive seen far more people have issues with other brands than the 3 of us who run tempests at matches at least monthly.
For the life of my i can't understand why its not more popular.
I had GA build a 6CM with one along with a spare barrel in January 2016. Action was Cerakote and bolt was nitrided never an issue with anything, an absolute laser, love the Rifle and work but never could get past that cam over at the top on close, after running Surgeons for yrs it was difficult to get use to. Like I said never any issues of any kind but after 850 I put it in the safe and it’s been there since with the spare bbl. moved back to my Surgeons and on to an Impact, but I do miss running from an AW flawlessly. Great Action and design if only they could do something on bolt closing but that’s a 60* for you
That’s interesting Will, won’t get mine from Wade till after the 1st. I will be checking it out closely for sure. Wanted to see what all the hope is about. You are correct the harder and faster you run the Tempest the better it performs?
Could be I having him put a diamond FS in mine with KMW btm in a foundation stock. Wade told me he likes to start out with the 00 hanger for the TT but it will come with another if I choose to like the timing different.It could be that i don't have a stock to mount it so it's more noticeable as well. But my cousin noticed it when handling it as well. This is with the correct trigger hanger and a TT diamond.
I’m surprised you didn’t go for another tempest,like you I had a bighorn which I just couldn’t love.Yup i think it’s just the nature of those lugs locking in the recesses. Forward pressure alleviates it though. I run it pretty forcefully. But currently my impact has a bit of a hitch like that when closing the bolt.
What profile barrel is that mate?Just ran across this thread.Ive been enjoying my first Tempest a lot!
Tempest Action
Proof 20” Carbon barrel
Area 419 Hellfire Muzzle Brake
Manners T5 with Gen2 Mini Chasis
I was using an Argos I robbed from one of my trainers when I took the pic,since then I’m using an Ares ETR.

The best 90* action I own is a Borden.I can lock it up with my pinky finger,so naturally I have one of his new dedicated 6BR repeater actions on order.
What profile barrel is that mate?
Thanks mate. That’s the same profile that I ordered. What barrel channel do you have in your stock to get it to fit?It is the Sendero,not the light one
I’ll check the build sheet when I get homeThanks mate. That’s the same profile that I ordered. What barrel channel do you have in your stock to get it to fit?
Awesome, cheers mate. I’m about to start the scramble to find a suitable stockI’ll check the build sheet when I get home
