Defiance Deviant Has Arrived!

[FourT6and2]

It's currently in jail. But I'm psyched. The bolt runs really smooth! I'm pretty happy with my decision. Now I'll just have to get a BAT and a Mausingfield to keep it company lol. I like how Defiance lets you custom order pretty much everything about the action. I went with the small firing pin hole, target-length port, long tactical knob, swept back handle, heavy tang, standard flutes on bolt, multi-faceted bolt shroud, 20-MOA rail, medium length action, AICS/AW mag well, recessed bolt head... aaaaand I think that's it. Hard to remember all the details. Oh, and a "blind" side bolt release.

Sexy! Definitely a step up from a 'factory' action.

Now that is a work of art. Make sure you post up the finished product.

[killshot44]

That'll do.

[OverUnderClays]

[Capybara]

Sweet! You have impeccable firearms taste.

[MarkG35]

Beautiful!
Congratulations!

Now, the big question all of us are probably wondering...

What are your other specs to complement that beautiful action and what cartridge will you be going with?

[highpower790]

If I remember correctly,I think OP is going with the 6.5 Creedmoor.

[FourT6and2]

Yup, 6.5 Creedmoor. There was a very long thread a while back all about it lol.

Bartlein barrel: 26" M24/M40, 4-groove, 1:8 twist
Surgeon DBM
McMillan A5 with KMW Loggerhead cheek hardware
Jewell or Calvin Elite trigger
ARC M-10 rings
Tangent Theta 5-25
Haven't decided on a muzzle brake or not. My smith uses Kampfeld Cutoms brakes.

[highpower790]

Please no brake!!!Spare the shooters to either side of you ,or be banished to the end of the line!

I was thinking of throwing one of these on there too:

Hey That reminds me of a German prank video I saw today.Picture a little car with three friends driving up to people with air horns that belong on a train.

Congrats, OP. I've got a Deviant at my smith getting built into a .243 rig. Hopefully it'll be done one of these days

As for company, yeah I did that too, haha! A BAT M and BAT EX, both will be switch barrels. The M will be 6 Dasher and .338 LMAI to start. The EX will be .375 CT and .50 DTC EDM.

Looking forward to seeing yours built out!!
