Defiance actions

[243BR]

Any one have experience with Defiance actions?

 

[NCVarhtr]

I have two defiance actions. A Rebel and a Deviant. I also have BAT, Nesika, and Stiller Actions. All very good actions. I just ordered another Deviant. My experience with Defiance has been just excellent.

I shoot Defiance actions. Never had an issue. Customer service is top notch.

 

[Stan Taylor]

I have fit barrels to several of these actions top notch.

 

[B Mize]

Mine is smooth as any other I've ever shot.

I use a Defiance Deviant and wouldn’t trade it for the world. A....mazing quality. You can even order one with your own custom serial number on it. But like any good action expect it to take months and they have a lot of options for any given action so make sure you know what you’re ordering. Talk to your gunsmith and have them walk you through what will work best for your displine or need before you waste money getting the wrong thing.

I have a Defiance Deviant single shot RBLP action and looking to pick up another, these are very fine actions. I was able to get one from Greg at Bugholes and they were even in stock

This is true. The serial #'s on mine are my initials followed by 001 and 002. Serial numbers have to be at least 6 digits.

Very good advice. They have lots of options.

Funny but the 6 digit thing didn’t occur to me. Mine is only 5.

I could be wrong about the numbers, that's what they told me anyway. Still kinda cool to have your personal serial#. It's listed in their options and they do list a price for this service but, I wasn't charged either time for it. They are just great folks to do business with.

I have two devients

I and fellow shooters have used them since the beginning. Glen and team are a class act. Everyone has problems, it's how you handle them that matters. Always had issues fixed completely at their cost when it was their problem. The design of the action is great: good ignition, integral rail & lug, one-piece bolt, excellent extraction, reliable. Guess that's why half the top PRS shooters use em....and a few F'ers too.

^^^^^....., and a few of us country boys that like Quality!
Ordered a Deviant last month. Eight months out, for those that like to plan ahead.

 

[skeetlee]

i have them come through my shop often. a melonited deviant is one of my favorites.

 

[Medic505]

Eight months out

Holy Cow!

 

[XTR]

My Rebel has a serial # in the 800s, not a custom number. I've been shooting it for about 5 yrs now.

 

[abishai]

I have a Rebel on my F classer and a Deviant on an AICS chasis. I couldnt be happier.
I think the Rebels are smoother than the Deviants. I all fairness, one rifle weighs 8 pounds more
than the other.
I have custom #s on both. I have 11 characters, at least one has to be a number
You could put ATFEATSP00P (those are zeros) for example.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Holy Cow!

Yep, they said even with more new equipment and employees they have been swamped. But of course I was just a retail customer ordering one action. I’m sure it will be somewhat sooner than that. As always Norm and Mike are great to do business with.

 

[Westhunder]

Well one of you boys that has been wanting to pick up another... check out the one I have for sale... no wait (8 months hurts) and save some money. I have a scar coming and she needs to go!

Thanks for all the feedback. I was fortunate enough to get a 50% off discount at the recent 600 IBS Nationals as a door prize, so now I need to decide what to get.
