Prs rifle build question about Defiance ruckus and bartlein barrels

[kaden688]

I purchased a Defiance Ruckus right hand med action (rem short) for my 6mm gt build. Im now looking for a barrel. I found a barrel it is the bartlein:
6mm 7.5 twist SS Heavy Palma 29"
5R rifling, .237 bore
.900 at 28"
Will this barrel work with this action? Once I have it threaded and chambered?
Also I purchased a masterpiece arms rem short action competition chassis. Will that bartlein barrel fit in this chassis? Ive been trying to reach masterpiece arms but can't get ahold of them and need to order a barrel since there's only 3 of these barrels left in stock. So Im hoping someone here can answer my questions. Thank You!

What trigger assemblies would you recommend for this build?

 

[jhunter]

I like Bix N Andy

 

[kaden688]

Will any of there models work with the ruckus?

Timney HIT or Trigger Tech Special or Diamond will work great. All comes down to what you like as far as trigger weight.

I like trigger tech diamonds but my next will probably be a bix and Andy

My smith put a Bix n Andy on a Defiance Rebel for me.

For triggers, decide if you like 1 or 2 stage.

I personally prefer the take up of a 2 stage. BixNAndy TacSport Pro (I have 1 of these) or TT Diamond 2 stage (I have 2 of these).

For single stage there are more options. TT Diamond, Timney HIT (I have 1 of these and just prefer 2 stage. Very crisp) would be my 2 recommendations though.

My latest PRS rig is built around a Ruckus as well. Pretty much all Rem 700 platform parts are going to fit nicely together. That MPA chassis is top notch and has adjustment for any potential firmest issues you may run into. Sounds like you have a sweet build coming together. Enjoy

FWIW: I had a Bix & Andy 2 stage in my Ruckus. I ended up selling it because I like the wider shoe in the TT.

 

[Rob01]

I agree figure first or 2 stage trigger. I prefer first stage as when I press the trigger I want it to go off with no take up. Take has always felt wrong for me in a PRS set up but others like it and why you need to figure what you like.

 

[kaden688]

So now that I have the action, chassis, and barrel. The only other thing I need is a trigger right? Besides getting my barrel threaded and chambered.
I really appreciate your guys input since this is my first build.

I’m also waiting on my suppressor tax stamp.

So any rem 700 trigger assembly will work with the defiance ruckus and mpa competition chassis?

Yes those and other 700 clones are made for that reason.

 

[kaden688]

can you adjust the trigger weight on the bixnandy tacsport pro?

 

[Kracken McGraw]

can you adjust the trigger weight on the bixnandy tacsport pro?

Yes and without taking barreled action loose from stock. I think most are this way except for the Timney.

 

[SweaterDood]

The only thing to note on the TacSport Pro is that the trigger shoe (part you physically pull against) is very narrow. You might want to order the wide shoe. Can’t remember if this is an option when ordering or just an extra few $ for an extra. Defiance uses the default top sear from Bix as well. There is a chart on BulletCentral.com that shows the different actions and top sear compatibility.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, I’d give Bullet Central a call and they will put whichever shoe/top sear option you prefer into the trigger prior to shipping. The website doesn’t seem to let you spec it out like before.
