Kinda thinking about one. Was thinking about the Shilen DGR, but this might be an even better option at a little lower price.

Ted builds good stuff..a little off in the magazine department but everything else is great.

Thats cool. Ive had nothing but good things to say about ARC. All my scoped firearms wear their rings and 1 piece AR rings.

As a nuclear engineer, I'm a bit drawn to the name...I'm tempted.

Interesting design, could be a good choice for a short to medium range hunting rifle.
The lefty option and compatible with Savage pre-fits is a plus.

I'm thinking about it. Been leaning towards the Bighorn TL3

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Looks like they try to incorporate every feature they could find that nobody else uses- what kind of ejector we need? Nobody uses the springfield. Ok we’ll use that. How bout bolt lugs? Well nobody hardly uses 3 lugs due to the horrific bolt lift. Ok, done. Now lets put more anti bind rails in just to make sure.
I cant see how they can make it for that money but i applaud them for being different. The recoil lug into the scope base is definitely taking it to the next level in the strength dept.

Why did they design the bolt knob to look like a miniature lamp shade?

Different is not always better. I see that a lot on harley modifications.

 

[hillbill]

very interesting design, I like the idea of the rotating bolt stop and the keyed lug. melonited finish is a plus.. might have to be a guinea pig and try one

Anyone can clone a Remington. I admire people who are creative. I have no idea who the guy is but his ingenuity is admirable. That action is like a Krieghoff. All those parts may not be necessary but for some they consider it art.

Maybe that extractor is unnecessary, but what else would function with controlled round feeding?

 

[Alex Wheeler]

You know what I'd love to hear from a new action company is, every surface true and straight like it should be or double your money back!

 

[IdahoSharpshooter]

my favorite part is the "non-refundable deposit of $250...".

Why should that be your favorite part? Most have it or a 15-25% return fee.
That's not odd or out of line these days. You'd be surprised how many business's do this today. The best, or only policy,,, when dealing with potential tire kickers is to charge them for it.

The deposit is to get in on the reduced introductory pricing.

I have a Mausingfield, and love it. Best rifle action.
This rifle should be pretty good. I am thinking about getting one as you can get the 223 bolt face, which you can't get in the Mausingfield

 

[hogpatrol]

Nucleus is a catchy name but I'm waiting for some CNC shop to introduce a "Creedmoor" action.

 

[Larryh128]

I intend to talk to him at the Shot Show and fondle one for a while. I have $250 to spare. Usually the deposit on pre-buying pays for the materials needed to start production. Keeps you out of the bank.

I was looking at the Mausingfield last year and decided to go with the Bighorn TL3 for that exact reason. Well, that and the $1600ish price tag.

from my experience, "non-refundable deposit..." usually translates to an underfunded company.

I doubt they are underfunded, Rich. More than one vendor stocks and sells their products. It's a good business decision for someone making custom products.
