Anti vs shadow

[Hunter609]

Anyone with experience with defiance anti and pierce shadow actions? Which would you choose and why?

Curious myself. Have an anTi and love it (with the upgraded bolt handle for scope clearance). Shadow looks solid too though.

Of the two, Pierce. Their extractor is better and you won't have the possibility of cases bouncing off the scope turret. I like Defiance, but don't care for the M16 extractor and location. It's not bad, but not as good as the Pierce. There isn't a measurable difference between the two outside of that design feature. They both make square and well machined actions.

Sadly, both use Rem pattern triggers, but there isn't anything we can do about that.

I just got rid of an anti and it felt great but I didn't like how close the bolt knob was to the scope as mentioned above. My gunsmith recommended the Pierce and said they're his favorite action now, and I'll be going with them on my next build just due to the fact that they are almost identical in weight but the Pierce is cheaper and comes coated.

I ended up ordering the shadow, it should be delivered tomorrow.

Damn that's fast! Looking forward to hearing feedback.

I’ve got a Pierce being spun up now with a Bartlien. Action felt great in hand, should have the finished rifle back soon.

Did your action come with trigger pins?

Titanium or steel?

I believe so? Received it back in June, can’t remember exactly.

Steel

Have both, really like both. But will probably go with Pierce from now on due to cost and availability.

Any updates?

After a few issues I got it back a couple weeks ago it looks like it will shoot so far.

Any updates on these actions? Thinking about getting one.

What extractor does the pierce have? Says m16 on the website?
