About three years ago I purchased a Defiance Machine Deviant tactical receiver for a long range precision bolt gun. I purchased two Remage barrels both 26” one in 308 win Match and one in 260 Remington.
I had a 270 win standards SPS stainless 24” that my youngest son learned to shoot some 16 years ago. Any hoot , since that time I did a lot of upgrades to that rifle. The main upgrade being a mag pool 700 Hunter stock and then a vinyl wrap so for Christmas I decided I would give my son that rifle. As I have more rifles than one could known what to do with, he currently lives in his own house now and has a gun safe so I think it’s time to give them that it has sentimental value.
So I informed him I was going to give him that rifle for Christmas. My son said to me dad I don’t want all the upgrades. I want the rifle as it was when I shot it. In which case it had a hogue stock with a stainless V block in it. So the other day I worked on that rifle and returned it to its former glory.
So now in my inventory, I have a mag 700 Hunter stock that has been camo wrapped and it has the mag pool bottom metal and removable magazine. So I’m thinking I may just get another Remington long action receiver the rifle out. I’m thinking I would put the 308 Winchester on the long action as I have loaded that with some pretty heavy bullets 225 grain HPBT. This will allow me to load it out longer than the Deviant short short action in the x-ray stock.
The AICS Magazines will allow me is a max COAL of 2.950. All Billy’s I would use except the Hornady 6.5 147 gr ELD M (3.005) will never exceed that . In the 308 win if you mow he like a 200 or 208 or 215 grain hybrid target .0020 off the lands put like 3.08 inches so I’m thinking that the 308 rather than a 260 Remington should be in the long action.
The question is what long action do I get three years ago when I bought the deviant tactical, it was $1200. Today defiance machine DV tactical long action is like $1800. I could go to PTG and get a standard long action for around $600 with the Tunney trigger. They have other options for either a 700 action or for their Valhalla action about $750 was a trigger. Not sure what trigger but my guess is minimally $150 I’m thinking that’s the way to go as we’re at a total of $900 and that’s about half of the defiance machine deviant tactical action and that’s without a trigger. Since I already have remage barrels with 1.0625 x 16 tpi pitch. it will limit the selection of actions I can choose.
So I’m looking to have a complete complete long action Trude receiver with a trigger for $900. Are there any other products that I should consider?
