Hey, just got off the phone with defiance machine, so I’m all excited…
as you’re probably aware they are a premiere builder of actions, rem 700 footprint based, mostly seen in the LR communit (is my experience)
I don’t know how I never have seen this action, or “option“ for that matter, but they offer a crf “claw” option on some of their actions….
i spec’d a rebel action with their sheep hunter port, rem 700 long std bolt face, with a crf claw extractor…
now I’m learning…. So I don’t know if it’s a “true” controlled feed or if it is the type where the claw snaps over the rim when the cartridge is chambered…i assume the later, but not sure.
so does anyone have any experience with the crf option from defiance?
Did you know they even offered this?
I feel like it’s totally untapped mrkt to have a custom built rifle setup as a “DG” RIFLE (what I would consider dg) utilizing defiance machine action…maybe there is a reason for that…
no doubt using a historical Mauser or something with some ‘soul’ is definitely cool for packing around! The history in ones hand is something that can “touch your soul” & I understand why so many go this route…
but for conversation’s sake…
seems to me that the custom action world is significantly smaller when using crf actions.. in this safari world, or any world where “it matters,” crf is the thing to have!
enter the defiance action in crf…. It is no doubt quality! can be had with a wing style safety too…
…yes, it lacks the provenance as an “African” rifle, but I think that it will make a cool build!
Not to mention, the Remington footprint will allow for lots of stock options, Wyatt’s mag box extra length, & many quality trigger options too!
iam planning more of a ligher Weight go anywhere kind of outfit probably a 9.3x62…alternative knowing me…might end up as a 400 Whelen…something “eye-catching“
im curious to hear what people think about my excitement, hahaha, my wife can’t stand me “chatting“ about it…x) so I thought Id talk to someone who might care x)
