If you shoot 20-100 rds a year you’ll never see or know any difference I don’t think.

The Ruckus is more traditional. 90* Bolt throw, no gimmicks. Smooth & integrated lug/rail. ARC has a large list of features, and high quality workmanship. It really just depends on what you are looking for. Both are top shelf actions, along with Impact, Lone Peak, Zermatt, etc. I personally run a Ruckus in an ARC chassis. Defiance went out of their way to take extremely good care of me with my Tenacity, so I will continue to run their actions. By the same token Ted (owner) at ARC picked up the phone, took my order and made sure I got a few extra pieces needed for my ARC chassis. Would not hesitate to do business with either company.

I love my origin and if I had to be picky, I wish the bolt had a little less slop, it is buttery smooth and that means more, but a few thousandths less slop when the bolt is back would be nice. I also wish there were more rail options than just 20 moa, and I wish the bolt coating would last longer, I would say after 500rds, there was significant coating wear. I talked to Zermatt ,who has incredible customer service, and he said they coating was used to make it as smooth as it is, but it wears easily.

My bolt has hd the coating wear off quite a bit from my origin. I can’t really say yet to compare the two beyond initial impressions. I will say the origin is a solid action! The fact that the CDG has integral rail and recoil lug is huge though! I swap barrels a ton on my origin and I’m getting tired of the pinned lug. Zermatts customer service is absolutely top tier! I emailed them at 5 am one day about the lug pin deforming and they had a baggie of them in the mail by 9 am! Super impressed. I so far would give the tip slightly to CDG but again I haven’t shot it so the most important part is yet to be compared.

I think stacking tolerances with some actions/prefits makes it into gray area, but if you’re not checking with go and no go gauges, you may never know. I’ve had multiple AR barrels not headspace but most people never even check them honestly. The Solus will help get people into precision bolt guns at a reasonable price, but I feel there are way better options out there for the same price, like the CDG.

Pretty sure that for reasons of reliable feeding, a controlled round feed actions need a conical breech because, unlike a push feed action, the round is held by the extractor and isn't floating in the receiver. Having a coned breech gives guidance to help the cartridge move under the tension of the extractor and center itself as it goes into the chamber. It's a trade-off... a flat breech works with a push feed but the round has to be loose and uncontrolled in the receiver for it to feed reliably. Push feeds are more reliable if the action is worked quickly (why semi- and full-auto actions are push feed), but at human speeds controlled round feed is more reliable and especially so if the bolt is cycled with the rifle at an angle from horizontal and level.

Only one glaring flaw with this design. The bolt body is round. That creates inconsistent twisting Under Fire due to Barrel whip. This has been a known problem with Remington 700 actions for decades. Square bolt bodies have always had a natural advantage over round ones. They are naturally stiffer and resist the inconsistent twisting imparted by the physics of firing the round down the barrel.

This is probably true for benchrest level of accuracy. I’ve heard BAT make similar claims for flat bottom actions.

Looks impressive. The best part is the fixed ejector. SAKO really disappointed me with the 90. I wish they'd make the extractor a bit wider. The handle is a matter of taste for me. Personally, I'd go for a large ball AI-style one. For me, the best type of handle is the one that's part of the bolt itself.

Seems like a lot of "stuff" going on with this thing. If you want to run pre-fits, I'd go with Lone Peak Arms Fuzion. I like simple actions. Less to go wrong. Less to fuss with. My favorite action is the Defiance Deviant Tactical because it just works. Defiance primary extraction is great. One-piece rail, action, lug, etc. And you can customize all the features if you want. But if you want to run pre-fits, I like the Fuzion a lot. I've tried the 737r as well but not my thing. All the innovations on the ARC stuff are cool on paper, but meh... they don't get you anything in practice when you're actually shooting. Controlled round feed is cool, but I've literally never had an issue with more traditional custom 700 actions in 10 years.
@ShootingTheBC7 ай бұрын
The biggest thing in my opinion with this action is you’re getting all that for almost half the price of some of those other actions! Sure it’s not the same quality, I live my lone peak, but Amman for $900 it does a whole lot especially for those wanting to try their hand at a custom action! Thanks for commenting

@@ShootingTheBC yeah that could be true based on the coatings they use and design. I’ve just seen videos of some hard-core PRS guys say that after a long day match or maybe a two day match where they didn’t get a chance to clean the bolt especially in Arizona and Utah where I shoot that moon dust gets in there and sometimes the fluting was the difference between some guys guns running and not when it’s right on the edge at the end of the day.

This is very true, maybe I should do some torture testing? I do believe as a company they have a reputation of their actions running well in the dirt and grime, but you are correct, this one is too new to know that yet. I know ARC said when they did pre orders, be patient and don’t ask (essentially) about when it’s going to be available. You’ll get it when you get it. Is that a good way to do it?

Another rem700 clone? What separates it from the thousands of other rem700 clones? I don't see anything special about it. Its another "also run."
@ShootingTheBC Жыл бұрын
A few things that seperate are the trigger hangar design to adjust engagement. Yes others do it but not like this. The big one is the pivoting bolt handle does no primary extraction on rotation but uses a lever system for stuck or stiff cases, and the biggest deal is the integral lug and rail plus tolerances to take prefits at $899. I don’t know if another rem clone that does that for the price.
@TeensierPython Жыл бұрын
@@ShootingTheBCnice that it’s “cheap.” But are solving any of these “problems” really necessary? I’ve never had any of these problems with even a standard blueprinted rem700. Much less a Stiller action I bought for around $900; 15 or so years ago.
@ShootingTheBC Жыл бұрын
Necessary is I guess for each individual to answer. I for one don’t know if I will ever buy an action without an integral lug. Swapping barrels is so much easier. And yes I personally swap barrels quite a bit. The pinned recoil lug on my origin is fine, but it gets annoying at the same time. We’re lucky to be in a time with so many options!

OK, IF/when you have a case head separation, where do the gases go? Stolle Panda has the same issue, no gas ports on the side, none in the bolt body. Gases go in your face with a massive amount of gas going in the bolt body from the firing in the hole. OF course, the firing pin is slammed to the rear with such force that it breaks your three-lever trigger(2 oz). You see, I have had this actually happen to me. I pulled the trigger, and the next second, I was sitting on my butt, on the floor, involuntary reflex from all the gases coming at me! Custom actions need a gas port on both sides of the action at the point of the gap between the bolt and the breech of the barrel.@@ptmonroe3101

He’s a pretty firm believer in buying only top tier action wise, and leans very heavy toward Lone Peak (still my favorite) and Impact or bust. He usually will steer someone towards a tikka before anything other than those two, but he’s done 3-4 of the CDG now, I got the impression he liked them more than lot of other budget actions out there, but still told me he thinks it’s better to save up for a top tier action. Me personally, I don’t like having 2 of the same thing and I like to be a little different lol. So far I think this CDG is the best “budget” action. Is the difference between the CDG and the Lone Peak worth the cost? Well I ain’t selling my Lone Peak to buy another CDG, but I’m also not selling my CDG and buying another Lone Peak. I quite like em both!
