Picked up my Impact Action today. This thing is damn nice. Definitely a step up from my Defiance Tenacity on my deer rifle.


Just ordered the Foundation Genesis 2 (MG2) stock with Hawkins bottom metal.. Owner of Foundation is a lefty, so he had exactly what I wanted in stock.


Now on to barrels. 6 BR, 6BRA, GayTiger, Dasher are on the table. Any others that I should be looking at?

I know BR and GT are probably the easiest. But can use Lapua Brass with the BR, BRA and Dasher.

Looks like Alpha makes brass for the Gay Tiger and Dasher.

I have a Trigger Tech Diamond on my deer rifle and was thinking going with the same on this. Not sure what else I should look at.

It looks like I can find Dasher and GT barrels in stock. Any places I should look for prefits on the other calibers?

For myself, I have built 6mmBR, 243, and 6mmRem rifles in heavy and lightweight.
I like the 6mmBR lightweight the best on Rem700 SA, but I use it single shot... too short to feed.

Ok here we go. Bought the parts for the start of this build. Went with 6 Dasher as I am impatient and found a barrel in stock. Really excited.

Impact 737 Action
Proof Research Steel Barrel in 6mm Dasher
Foundation Genesis 2 Stock
Hawkins M5 Bottom Metal
Trigger Tech Diamond Trigger
Area 419 Hellfire Brake
Full length Arca Rail
B&T Atlas Bipod

Will probably put my Leica 5-30 PRS scope on it.

Now I need some Dies. What dies are yall using for Dasher? I am using Alpha OCD DASHER Brass.
