Nice Rig Tim! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Thanks man. I’ll still suck but at least I’ll look good doing it!
Nice Rig Tim! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
I've been wanting to know the same thing. Even a standard magnum long action for a 300 PRC build would suffice. I emailed Impact a couple weeks ago and never heard back. I noticed Manners list an Impact long action inlet on their stock builder.Anyone have any insider information when impact will release their lapua/Norma action?
I'm young and spry, in a pinch I can still run around with it in my hands or on my back in all of those scenarios where I'm told you absolutely need a lightweight gun. As far as the trigger goes, this thing feels like a double-action revolver compared to what you use in free pistol matches!How dare you post a picture of a 30lb 6BR with a sub - 1LB trigger on this forum!
Finally got my build fully put together between rifle, chassis, scope, and suppressor. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and more pleased with how well it shoots DTACS. The heavy weight is a nice plus for PRS matches.
As far as the action itself goes, it's hands down my favorite action I've laid hands on. I had some early issues because I'm apparently too dull to figure out a trigger hangar - I installed it upside down and then backwards before trying the right way last - but once I actually put it together properly it's been fantastic. Super smooth cycling straight out of the box, and it stays smooth regardless of if it's bone dry, drenched in oil, properly lubed, or filthy from shooting in the blowing dirt of Colorado farmlands (which sadly included all the freshly planted seed). It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the Nucleus I had previously, but it's an action that just works and that's the reason I bought it.
My only complaint would be that the partial cock on close and heavy firing pin spring affects the adjustment range on my TriggerTech Diamond. With the Nucleus I had it set to about 10oz without problems and it was fully drop safe down to below 4oz, but with the heavy spring on the Impact I have to set the trigger to about 14oz and that's as low as I can go without making it unsafe (setting the firing pin off when you close the bolt hard and fast).

The action is designed to be a partial cock on close action, about 50/50. Trigger hangars are meant to tune the sear engagement if you're overcocking the action, not remove all cock on close.If I understand correctly there are multiple trigger hangers available to sort issues like cock on close.
I've had no issues running 6br out of ARC magazines with no spacer kit or Accurate Mags with a spacer kit.Anyone running an impact in 6br? How does it run from the mag in the impact?
Keystone Accuracy I think?Anyone know the name of the company that was doing Easter sale for 2 barrels around $718. I can't seem to find them and want to put in an order before it ends.
Yep, It’s keystone accuracyAnyone know the name of the company that was doing Easter sale for 2 barrels around $718. I can't seem to find them and want to put in an order before it ends.
Mine works well using either an Accurate Mag with no binder plate (I use a spacer kit for this, since I shoot 6BR) or an ARC mag without the spacer kit.What mags are you guys running with your impacts. Had one put together last week, my other rifle uses aw mags.. friend loaned me a magpul ai mag it feeds good just rather have metal. Mainly wondering if I can run mags without binder plate?

Thanks guys
I’ll try to figure out how to post pics
Whats the weight of this bad boy?Dropped mine off at Gradous’s this past Saturday, can’t wait to shoot it! This is gonna be my new dedicated hunting rig
1350 is a steal and very competitive with other comparable offeringsAt $1350 for the action they should be top notch. If it didn’t have all the attributes you all speak of what a disappointment it would be.
Good question but I don’t have the answer yet. Gradous has been waiting on my reamer for 4 monthsWhats the weight of this bad boy?
YesQuick question, the bolt can be swapped out so the same action can have various barrels and bolts?
Thank you sir.
anyone know where a 737R w/.308 bf might be in stock?

Unless the MPA is cut for an Impact Precision action it will require some modification so that the trigger hangar can fit properly.So i didn't feel like googling and am waiting for a PRS2 to come in stock at Altus so i can get it from them cut for my impact. However barrel just shipped, action wrench will be here tomorrow, AMG and rings soon to follow. I want to drop it into my brothers MPA just to start shooting it. Any modification required?
I measured mine this weekend with the hanger that came installed on it since I plan on getting that trigger and Bullet Centrals chart says I’ll need a low sear. Didn’t even think about trying the other hangers though so that may not be of any help. Mine was ~0.158”Anyone using a bna TacSport pro 2 stage in your impact? What height top seer does your trigger have and what hanger are you using

Is there a place to get an AW cut Impact without a long wait?
Can the cut be added later and still be as reliable as the factory cut?
Got an almost immediate response from Tate via email. They've had no problems running mags with no blinder plate.Can anyone tell me if an Impact will work with Accurate Mags that don't have the blinder plate? Deciding on my next caliber and I need to know if I'll be able to load to the OAL I need for some.
Waiting on the AMG and PRS2 but pretty happy with how it's turning out weight wise. I was worried with the impact and 20" medium palma it might be too heavy. But i think it will be right at 10-11lbs once i get the PRS2 in. My brothers MPA needed no modifications to fit the impact fortunately.
What Ft/Lbs are you guys using to torque your barrels?

I recently got a barreled action from impact with a tt trigger and it dropped right in no measuring needed with the map comp chassis at least . I have my action torque to chassis at 65-70So i didn't feel like googling and am waiting for a PRS2 to come in stock at Altus so i can get it from them cut for my impact. However barrel just shipped, action wrench will be here tomorrow, AMG and rings soon to follow. I want to drop it into my brothers MPA just to start shooting it. Any modification required?
