Lulz. I have 3 anTI actions. Hardly a hater but I’ll never buy another one. They’re nice but not that special considering the competition, even at the old price.
Have 2 ARCs, one Nuke 2.0 and one Medes and my next one will be a ARC CDG.

I specifically prefer the Rebel action because it offers the extended cantilevered rail. Most other action manufacturers have gone to the integrated rail on their offerings, which doesn't allow for the extended rail.
I guess I need to order another Rebel action before the amateur financial advisors talk Defiance into downsizing their product line.
So make ruckus’s that take rails as well . Whatever Nobody said my example was the end all be all. But you don’t need 80 100 variants of actions that’s just ridiculous. Get to a point where dealers are stocked as well as defiance having a stock themselves on a baseline of actions that 90 percent of people are using and you can still do custom runs of special order stuff every 3 months or whatever.
I get it, yes, the more you spend, especially if going for competition, the better. I was just wondering then why people were giving grief about a rifle company going up on their prices. But I also understand that now. I guess my question was rhetorical.
I like the Rebel actions because they don't have the unfinshed slabbed look. I do wish they had an integral rail option.
Do they make the Rebel action anymore??

Last I saw on the site they weren't taking orders. That was before/during the buyout though I think. I've heard 12-14 months on here. New ownership says they lead times will come down. You'll have to order and find out or go a different action with shorter wait time. Up to you.

I won't say too much on here that hasn't already been said in one way or another.
However, what I will say is people are hurting, and a price increase of $500 seemingly overnight won't help people feel less hurt about it either.
All we can do is spend our money as wisely as possible.
I like Defiance and I own them, however, this increase was a little much for me.
I mean was the Tenacity action worth more than it was previously selling for? Absolutely! Was it worth $500 more, not for me... not when there are better options available at that price point.
I just don't see how this could be a smart business idea.

Good luck guys. As a company owner/skilled service provider myself (though on a much smaller level) I know things are nowhere near as clear cut as those on the outside want to hink they are. With the huge selection of custom actions for my choosing, I keep coming to the Deviants. #3 should be ready in a few months. Customer service has always been amazing and quality control is never a concern. Good luck in the transition. God bless you guys.
"We're doing all we can to price our products fairly." Gtfoh. You almost doubled the price of a tenacity action over night. You sound like a politician. Your complaints are my #1 concern. By the way, here is a huge price hike. Your customer service is great, but it's not worth almost double the price.

So.....
Can someone recommend an action around 19 oz for under a G? Like the anTi used to be......

The new Falkor will probably be the closest.
I have been very pleased with my Tenacity builds. Put myself on Impact Actions waiting list yesterday. So I guess I have the Extreme group to thank for taking me to the next level.
What a load . The rain is warm and smells like piss.
There are a couple of "ready to ship" actions on the Defiance website for $990.
They told me, a while back, they could not sell directly and I would have to go through one of their dealers. I was just going to ride up and pick one up.
Has that changed ?
I don't know anything about that.
Same deal. Those are ready to ship to your FFL.
Prices up considerably since I was on their sight.
Lmao, I’m asking less than $400 more than the bare action from Defiance for my nitrided Ruckus Tactical barreled action with Bix Tacsport in the PX.
Next week I'll have been waiting 12 months for my LH Defiance Deviant Tac....
That's just crazy. Evidently, everyone wants one so bad that they have none in stock, anywhere. When you ordered it, did they tell you lead time was over a year?
I confess, I don't know what is the longest amount of time a person has had to wait for an action.
They’ve raised the prices twice since I ordered it! LGS said 4-6 mo at the time, but not sure if that was direct from Defiance.
I actually gave up and built the rifle on a different action. I tried to cancel my order recently but maybe I should just keep it and flip it (if it ever shows up)

I ordered an action in July 2022. When I ordered it they told me it would be 15 Months. I received it a couple weeks ago.
I've been waiting 18 months for a Krieger barrel.

Well, I was going to order one in September. Guess I'm going to figure out what my smith is selling now since I doubt he builds more than 25 rifles a year. Certainly not enough to get the price down to make it viable.
Looks like I'm looking at Falkor to make a MT rifle.
