Defiance Classic

[Skedaddle Shooter]

I am wondering if any of the experienced gunsmiths have looked at the Defiance Classic. I just saw it on their website the other day. I know it has a pined recoil lug and scope mount but are the tolerances the same as their higher end actions? I have one of Bat’s Igniter actions that I will build on this winter and Bat says they are the same tolerances just a simpler, less bells and whistles action. I’m looking to upgrade from the Remington 700’s I’ve been using for the more affordable projects.

Thanks,
Joe

Stick with BAT.

Whatever finish Defiance uses doesn't last.

There's a reason bat specifies tolerances and provides drawings. There's a reason defiance doesn't. Not that defiance is a bad action... but given the two choices... I pick bat.

This is not a Bash on Defiance because I have 2 of there actions but why is the tenacity 500.00 more than the Classic?
At the 900.00 price point I would go Kauger SST

The Tenacity has been discontinued. After the buyout, they jacked up the price and made it too close to the Ruckus.

The Classic is a Tenacity, the pre integral lug version, but prefit compatible. Then they fixed the post-takeover pricing mistake.

Even if Beck has replaced the Tenacity with the Classic I still would do the Kauger SST next time I want an action at that price point.
