Defiance actions

[rijndael]

Did my Mack Bros action just increase in value?

No, but the Defiance actions pre 12/7/2022 may have become more desirable.

Is taking illegal game across state line a violation of the Lacy act?

Yes, but for some reason he wasn’t charged. Never spent much time looking as to why.

Is there going to be companies who purchase Defiance actions for resale and companies that use private branded Defiance actions for rifle builds that don't want to do business with Bob Beck?

Thanks for bringing this thread to my attention since I was thinking about purchasing one. Now I am not so sure. One of the selling points was a simple installatiom and if I have problems it will cause major delays or expense which I don't need. By the way, cost would be north of $1100 with bottom metal.
What are some good alternatives?
Thanks again.

I was just bringing that thread up in case anyone had missed it. It just sounds like not everything is the same as it was when Kelly was running it.

It rarely is when a new owner, especially a corporate owner, takes over.

Well. We will see. I can say that Defiance has given me A1 customer service in the past. Hope I don’t have to test them in the future.

Just visited the "extremestore.us" ( Beck Bob) on the first page a stock says "Game Warden." Kinda funny of you think about it..

Glad I have 2 old ones and one really old one. Sad to see.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

I’m sure the quality will still be in those actions, it’s just a pisser!

Corporate America, killing brick and mortar shops one at a time. Its inevitable it seems, if you have a small successful enterprise they eventually come. Makes you appreciate the guys who stick with it and keep their businesses running in tip top shape and out of the hands of the big Corps, hopefully the people who have been with Defiance continue to make it run as it has, they still have a vested interest in keeping their livelihood running.

Rumor has it Bob Beck has bought Defiance.
Sad day, found my excuse to buy a Bat next time I'm in need of an action.
I smell another Vista outdoors in the making.
Sad thing is 99.9 % of us would have done what Beck did wouldnt even be able to carry a firearm let alone own an FFL.

first of all i think it’s a joke we have to pay for a liscence to hunt deer. why should we have to pay to shoot one. i feed them year round, i pick up electric fence and insulators after them and i have to pay to shoot one?? what a crock. second of all getting a felony your guns and vehicle taken away for shooting a deer of either sex without a permit is Ridiculous .

He wasn't charged with it because it was part of the plea deal.

This subject is no different from any of the other discussions about Corporate buyouts and new owners. If you happen to disagree with the new owner(s) or the Corporate structure or Corporate greed, simply stop buying.

I've been buying Defiance products, lots of them, since they opened their doors. Nothing will change in the short term, virtually none of the upper echelon employees will be let go and none of the product programming will be rewritten. The current owner obviously sees a method of making more profit with his own thinking that the previous owner(s) didn't consider. Otherwise, why else would he/they spend the amount of money this sale was asking? Certainly not to break even or God forbid, lose money.

We are blessed even in these days (years) of component shortages to have a large number of action manufacturers. The price range is substantial so there are many choices. Finding the one you prefer in stock may be a challenge due to demand so consider looking for the second layer of sellers or distributors who might have a larger quantity available.

Availability and quality of those actions on the market currently is why I closed my account. Complaining about the owner(s) won't solve this. Get busy researching your options and costs then make a well founded decision.

Enjoy the process!

I hate to hear this but hope the best for Defiance. I wonder what Glen will do next or if he's retiring?

He may start a third gun company. First was Nesika Bay and then Defiance.

He was charged with a misdemeanor, paid a fine, restitution, investigation costs, lost his license for a year and was invited back to Idaho to hunt by the DFG.

This happened 12 years ago.

Right. So, at what point do we assume he's paid his debt to society and we all move on and not continue to dog the guy? Unless I've missed more recent stories, it was a one time thing.

While I do not own or shoot a Defiance action, some of my range mates work for Defiance and I can say that these are outstanding and gracious folks I’m proud to call my friends.

I'm waiting on my first Defiance barrelled action. I guess then I'll see firsthand what all the hullabaloo is about.
