The incorporated pic rail sure isn’t impressive with it not being solid all the way across.
As long as the trough in the middle is tall enough at the base, and not too wide, so the recoil lug on a ring engages, why is a full one needed?

Not too far back here someone was showing a thermal mount that was just catching the corners of one of those type rails. The rifles recoil was enough to shave the aluminum off those base corners and the mounts slipped over them, a oddity I’m sure but doesn’t look like a well built rail to me.As long as the trough in the middle is tall enough at the base, and not too wide, so the recoil lug on a ring engages, why is a full one needed?
https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/solus-short-action-478-bolt-faceI'm inclined to think that was just a junk mount.
In many circles, maybe more tactical and field shooters than F class and BR guys, the Badger Picatinny rail was a good baseline for a 700 rail. I know I used them for a long time without issue. It has a full trough down the center.
That's my understanding.Isn’t it designed to use Origin prefits, so the tenon info is already known?
I would say Borden, then my BAT Bumble Bee. But I have to say my LONEPEAK FUZION Ti is pretty dam smooth, even my smith made a comment on it.BAT Bumblebee and Vampire are in the running. They are very smooth.
ARC mausingfield. Controlled feed smoother than push feed
I think people would have taken the increase on the more expensive action like the deviant pretty well. The bump in the tenacity seems to be the one everyone is fired up over. They probably should have just dropped it all together, I dont know.
Defiance is going down and out. They dont have a BR market and they raised the prices on the actions they sell the most of which are the ones in the most competitive market. They shoulda lowered the price not raised it. Then bring out a more premium one like ARC does.I think where Defiance is going to hurt is sales for the PRS/"practical"/general target and hunting crowds.
The BR/F-class crowd seems used to paying higher prices for quality (Borden, BAT, etc.). However in the other markets, you are competing against Impact, Lone Peak, ARC, Zermatt, etc., which are all well received and lower priced (with the new Defiance price increases).
I'm not sure what disciplines make up what % of Defiance's sales. Sounds like it would be to their advantage to start focusing on BR and F-class, especially if gunsmiths like yourself are fond of the quality of the actions. I know in other disciplines Defiance was loosing market share to companies like Impact. This latest price increase will certainly see that market share continue to diminish, at least in disciplines like PRS.
Will be interesting to see what happens to Defiance. I love the Defiance I have on my .300NM rifle, it's undoubtedly a quality action.
???Good grief.
Have they gotten in touch with Zermatt? What seem to be the issue? I will eventually cruise over there and take a look see.Some folks on Snipers Hide are reporting that some Origin barrels aren't headspacing properly on their actions.
