New Coup De Grâce Bolt Action -- Thoughts?

[Dgd6mm]

I like that Ted has come out with a new action, especially at this price range. I believe I'll stick with the Nucleus action. The Nucleus was on sale for $800.00 at Thanksgiving time, that's a deal.

Especially since your Nuc barrel wouldn't just move over. He's recommending a conical breech.

I wish he woulda came up with a better name, thats about as dumb as you can get, but ill still be buying them. That bolt knob is only ugly if youve never used it

It's second to the "Hell Betty" action.

It would be a mouth full for sure if you chambered the rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor.

The new action is a fat bolt design similar to an AI, it can use a fixed extraction cam bolt handle or a pivoting bolt handle to extract like the Archimedes action.

Personally I think it is a very nice looking action how it handles is another thing.

I may get one but I hate to be the beta tester.

This was actually my first thought, meaning about the barrel and the lack of description of such on ARC site. Now I know I'll stick with the Nucleus. There's plenty of Guinea Pigs out there, no offense intended of course.

 

[pauls]

Love ARC actions., I'll be getting a couple of them.

What do these things actually look like (fit-n-finish)? The images on the web site all appear to be renderings.

Likely fantastic. I have a nucleus that I haven't shot in a while but I can't sell it. Every time I pick it up, I end up putting it back.

It actually does say it on the ARC site:

"Receiver and bolt work well with AICS mags but are optimized for incredibly smooth and reliable feeding using AIAW mags and conical breech barrels."

Ultimately, this is why I won't be getting one either. I am not a AIAW or AICS mag fan at all. I have yet to see a setup where they didn't stick way down below the stock line and didn't rattle. Fine for PRS, not fine for hunting.

I will probably get one, maybe just send it to Alex to evaluate if he's interested. I need another action like I need more ear hair.

Always love checking out new actions.

This is my gripe. I like flush fit mags

I have many AICS pattern flush fit mags. Curtis and Hawkins make them in a short action. They aren’t fully flush but Hawkins makes a pretty streamlined LA setup. Unknown Munitions does an another not too bad LA. Both of those LA are nicer than the AICS steel mags for hunting rifles.

That hawkins hunter flush mag is very nice with their hunter dbm

Ok, I stand corrected. However it will not work for me as well.

Would there be a single shot available? Or would that be a pointless exercise?

Kinda pointless with the controlled feed design
