Anyone here who has owned both a TL3 action and Impact 737R have an opinion as to which they like more. I have a TL3 action which I think it great but the 737R seems to be a bit more popular. Thoughts?
Zero issues has been my experience too with my current TL3. It just seems looking around the internet that the 737r is much more popular and maybe I am missing something. Anyway I just ordered anoterh TL3. Now I need to figure out what to do with it. Any change you ever shoot 6BR from one? How did it feed? Still trying to decide if it want to go GT or BR.They are both great actions but I'm a huge Zermatt fan. I have 7 TL3's.. 6 repeaters and 1 single feed and a RimX.
Main reason I have so many and dont shoot anything else is because they feed everything like butter and have the interchangeable bolt heads. I have 50-60 TL3 barrels I can screw on any of my 7 TL3's and shoot. Same trigger, same everything on every one of mine so everything is consistent across all 7 of them. Zero issues, problems or complaints.
Yes, Impact has interchangeable bolts but they are way more expensive then Zermatt interchangeable bolt heads. So, if you want to switch between 223, 308, 6.5PRC, etc.. just swap the bolt head and screw on the new barrel and go shoot. Other than that, Im sure youd be happy with both.

I've been shooting 6BR for many many years in my TL3's. Zero feeding issues what so ever. I also shoot GT, 22BR, 22GT, 223rem, 308win, x47L, 224V, 220TB, 6.5cm.. never a single feeding issue with any of them.
I was running AI mags with kits without issue but have been running MDT 12rd BR mags for a while and they run
Any preference for BR or GT?
Yes, BR all day everyday and on Sunday. I just love the BR. So stupid easy to load for. I just love that little cartridge. GT took much more effort to dial in load wise
How much firing pin fall does the impact have?I also own and have shot out many barrels with both actions. Both are great, but my last couple barrels that I ordered I chose to chamber for the Impact.
Overall a slightly more robust design, a bit more positive primer ignition (firing pin fall), less moving parts and less to break, more leverage on the bolt handle. Just feels more solid.
Might eventually swap one of my TL3's for a second Impact action.
I measure mine at around .260"How much firing pin fall does the impact have?
This was practically from the beginning. It did take them a bit to figure this was an issue. Now, if you order an action from them they will send it with the correct cocking piece for the trigger that you intend to use. This takes care of the proper pin fall.In the past, you'd call them with the measurements and they'd mail you a new cocking piece.
