Thread: Terminus Actions

I’m looking at something a little different for my next rifle and considering a 3 lug action.

Does anyone have any experience with these? And more specifically the Apollo or Apollo Lite?

Ok, what about the very similar Curtis?

both are great actions, Curtis and Terminus are nearly the same design.

I have a played with both and I rate them highly

I really like my curtis - gets smoother the more you work them and they are very smooth to start with.
The barrel change seems to be very repeatable - i still check the zero, but between two different barrels im only getting vertical which is to be expected with the jump in velocity between the case capacity.

Ive build a few rifles on Terminus as well as Curtis actions - slick, reliable actions, fit and finish is of high standard. Top quality custom action.

Who is bringing Terminus actions in?

alpine precision can get them, they can take a while if you're after a Zeus is my understanding

As this will be predominantly a hunting rifle I like the weight of the Terminus Apollo Lite but don’t like the look of the cut outs in the body of the receiver (obviously made to save weight). Big step up in weight to the Apollo at 26oz v 32.5oz.

Hey i have handled the Terminus zeus and Terminus kratos x. I have ordered the zeus in a short action from dead eye dicks in levin. They are a slick action. The bolt runs effortlessly. The terminus apollo light dosnt have an intergrated recoil lug either, which i think is a little average. For weight i think the lone peak razor and fuzions short actions are both lighter than the standard apollo. The apollo will be a nice action, the 60degree bolt is pretty sweet. if you are lower north island they may have one to look at. They get excellent reviews. Joel designed the curtis actions, left and started his own business. His actions are coated, have treaded trigger pins , and have a slightly smaller bolt diametre. .750 vs .725 of an inch to help with mag feeding. They are both good actions. I think the bolt lugs are a bit more rounded off as well. there a guy on youtube that goes through the differences.

I don’t like the pinned recoil lug on the Lite either.

It would be great if the Apollo had options for one and two piece integrated rails.
