Interesting Rifle - Dino11 - 05-27-2021

Built by Defiance Machine, so it is probably a quality rifle.
Definitely has caught my attention, I think I am going to do some homework and check this out. It has all the features that I was originally looking for in a bolt action 6 ARC.

Calling them on Tuesday to possibly place an order.
It's my understanding their is about a 10 to 12 week wait for them to build it.

Personally I buy in to the idea of a 6mm arc in a Mini bolt action. When their short action (shortest action available) provides the room for a 6mm Creedmoor or 6.5 Creedmoor personally, Id have a hard not stepping up a bit from 6mm ARC.
To each their own, at least other options are available.
RE: Interesting Rifle - Thelaststraw - 05-31-2021
I, on one hand, feel the same way about building or buying a bolt chassis in a Creedmoor vs 6 ARC. I just missed out on the 6CM Howa actions for practically free at Brownells but ran into some key components for an AR system dirt cheap. The biggest benefit to having a bolt 6ARC I can see is on the handloading side of things.
I'm still gaining confidence in my personal handloads in rifle calibers and to add another rifle caliber and components is not a cheap addition for sizable round counts. I put down probably $1000+ on just reloading items and components when I added 6ARC to my bench. Granted many items were needed because I didn't need them for the only other rifle caliber I load for(300BO). Sure will help but in my case I didn't need to be quite as concerned with the exacting dimensions for a precision round.
If I build a bolt in the future it will be in 6ARC also unless I can actually justify a step up, meaning it doesn't shoot better than me. That will be a while....lol. I don't enjoy adding calibers to my bench unless they have a substantial stock of components to go with the dies.

I specifically wanted the 6 ARC because it uses so little powder that it has a projected barrel life of 10k rounds. The miniscule recoil is wonderful for long shooting sessions as an added bonus. The 6 Creedmore has the obvious advantage in velocity but for my needs, the ARC is perfect.

...FWIW, I feel that all the "kinks & quirks" being reported in 6ARC bolt action platforms will be pretty much resolved in the 1st half of 2022, maybe even sooner...
BTW, that's a nice looking rig...it's creating an "itch" that I'm resisting the urge to scratch, LOL

Give in to the urge, after all, you deserve to buy yourself a Christmas present!

LOL, I hear ya but want to thin out the "pending" things first. I just came across an article in Gun Digest about a portable build someone did w/6.5CM that was really intriguing, I was impressed enough it got me thinking...which has always been a dangerous thing for my extremely limited budget
RE: Interesting Rifle - r.tenorio671 - 12-21-2021
....hmmm, I should quantify my earlier post. I like the collapsible stock in the article, would prefer it to the more common side folding options. I like an action that would allow me to easily swap out and headspace barrels on my own to satisfy the "tinkerer" I suffer from, LOL, and so far Savages actions or "remage" actions seem to best fit that.
..the author mentioned an issue with heat negatively affecting scope mirage, I think in 6ARC that would be diminished quite a bit and still be 1K capable...just my thoughts, rambling as they are.
