No other rifle combines the precision of the Defiance action, Benchmark Carbon Fiber barrel, and our proprietary Rifleman stock design in a lightweight carbon fiber shell. The Defiance action features a one-piece bolt construction with deep spiral flutes and very open “Sheep Hunter” loading and ejection port. The port design reduces action weight and makes it very easy to load cartridges into the rifle, even in gloved hands.
Our Rifleman stock features the best blend of grip shape, comb height, and forearm dimensions of any long range hunting stock on the market. We use McMillan’s lightweight EDGE technology with light fill and carbon fiber shell for maximum strength and rigidity in a stock that weighs less than 28 ounces. We precisely thread and chamber a Benchmark carbon fiber barrel in a Benchmark #5 contour. All metal is coated in our tough Cerakote finish in the color you choose.
Finally, we apply our one-to-one aluminum pillar and glass bedding system to the action. Our bedding system does not utilize a generic bedding block or chassis. Instead, we machine individual bedding pillars that match the radius of your action and full-length glass bed the receiver and recoil lug for a perfectly mated fit between your stock and action. We then bed the bottom metal so it is exactly square to the receiver. We do your barrel break-in and test accuracy with factory ammunition that is readily available.
