Hey all-
Who has bought or shot a Defiant Tenacity action? The price is really attractive at $885. Less ability to customize but does that matter that much?
I'm curious how they compare to the Deviant as far as longevity and accuracy.
Anyone got one?

swageI don't think there are many out in the wild yet. I have two Defiance Deviants and a third on the way. It's made on the same machines using the same steel as the Deviant. The Tenacity does not have an integral scope rail and recoil lug. So the stock piece of steel is smaller and it has less machine run time. Quality and tolerances should be the same. Accuracy has a lot to do with who made the barrel and who chambered it.
I spoke to a manufacturer of actions and the cost to increase the stock size to machine an integral lug and scope rail was almost twice the cost.
If you order it from Defiance and don't like it they will refund your money or swap it out for something else. I've owned Surgeons, Bighorns, Impact and Defiance. My "go to" action is a nitrided Defiance Deviant Tactical.
