Bat or nesika!
Deadeye Dicks - New Products
Not the cheapest but looks solid....
Christensen Custom Action | Trade Me
a Touch cheaper
Have to factor in bottom metal, trigger, and mag is included so... not so bad? I just can't find any reviews :(
They are quite new as Christensen used to use rem actions. Nice actions! Should buy a hardy action and put it in the cupboard mite be quite the collectors piece one day!!
Mate got enough stuff in the cupboard + safe queens. This is going to be used!
If you wana use it get a Christensen, bat or nesika it would seem the hardy has had a few issues
Don't know if it is... Doesn't look like it on Trade Me
...but the Hardy is brand new...too soon for issues...what have you heard? Leaning towards the CA action...might have to look harder for a review.
I was looking at one but seems there has been a few issues with materials ie hardness nitrating of parts or lack of? Parts galling I'm sure these issues will be fixed in time!
Hmmm :(
GAP Tempest .
They sell rifles & actions .
I think Gap are Defiance.
Sort of. Defiance make actions for a number of shops including GAP. They make them to the shop's spec's and label brand them accordingly. They are fucking nice actions. Best turn bolt I've used.
They look great alright. Not seen one in NZ....?
We played parse the parcel with one a while ago.Quote:

Any idea who brought it into NZ?
Me.
YES & NO ,
The GAP Tempest is GAPs design , and it IS not made by Defiance , it is made by another machince shop , and IS only available from GAP , as a complete rifle or action .
The Templar uses a action from Defiance .
The GAP Tempest , is very nice , think of it as a lite weight AI AW action that fits into a rem700 foot print , and runs a 10rd AW mag , its a full dia bolt and has a 60 degree lift , and IF its like the AW action , its very smooth & quick , and should feed very well , as the AWmagazine was made for the AW action .
I've just seen the Tempest and holy fuck is it ugly!!
Looks like a Barnard. Nasty!
And no, it's not a Rem700 drop in replacement either because of the extra section forward of the recoil lug.
went for defiance deviant hunter.
Where did you score that from?
Terminator Products have ordered.

UPDATE: Defiance action (with a MSRP of USD1330) landed and cost is $3171inc GST. Is roughly 40-50% more than anticipated. Seems very extravagant to me...bite the bullet or pull the pin (I have both on hand)??
seams abit steep to me, id stick to the blaser
Already bought Proof Research barrel and suppressor on basis of action price being realistic - $3.1k vs Definance vs 'value'...seems high quality low value? If you know what I mean. Have kindly been offered refund of $2k dep as we were both surprised at how the price jumped.
wow 3000 is a lot, I probably wouldn't pay more than 15-1600 for that action
I would say that's about what I would have expected by the time currency conversion, freight, customs and GST and allowing for a reasonable margin for the dealer.
Actually looking at that I would say bugger all margin for the dealer given he is required to now sort any issues (god forbid shit happen) under the CGA.
Custom guns are never cheap but I would say go for it.
At a guess
Abandon ship. . . . .
Find something else for way less coin or sell the other half of the gun it comes with to cover. . . . [emoji2]
Keep it. Yours will be one of a few only in NZ. They are a top product.Quote:
