Impact NBK vs Lone Peak Fuzion Alpine Cut

[jayquiver]

Looking at these two actions for a short action hunting rifle. Will most likely buy a 2nd bolt (standard and Mag bolt face) and give the switch barrel set up a go.

I think the Lone Peak is about 26oz and the Impact NBK is 30oz.

Any input on these 2 actions or how would they compare? Pros/Cons for each? What one would be better for harsh hunting conditions in Alberta?



Other components for the build are
Stock - Manners Pro Hunter adjustable with micro chassis, Sendero Lite Barrel Channel and M5 inletting
Barrel - either a carbon barrel or a steel spiral fluted barrel, leaning towards the steel profile - need to decide. Looking at Benchmark and KS Arms.
Bottom Metal - Will most likely run Hawkins Hunter DBM or Gray Ops. I prefer a floor plate but with the switch barrel set up the mags will work better with less work. Have Hawkins M5 Obendorf with Wyatts mag/follower that I would like to use but not sure its ideal in a switch barrel set up?
Trigger - Trigger Tech Special

Have you seen the new nbk?

Is there a new NBK ? One of the dealers here, in Canada has the 737, 737 NBK and a 707. Not familiar with anything else.

Have the changed ? I am interested in the one in the photo.

There’s a new lightened version of the NBK being released this month. Might want to wait for it.

Just found a photo of it online, looks pretty sweet.

I am assuming the Impacts are a solid reliable action as they seem to one of the top choices for the PRS guys.

I don't think I would run it as hard as them. This Ultralight NBK now ticks all the boxes for me.

The NBK Ultralight looks cool. I have a Lone Peak steel alpine cut with standard and mag bolts. Great action, run it hard in matches in all kinds of conditions. Impact actions run just as reliably. The Lone Peak is 28.5 oz - lone peak lists their weights without the bolt knob.

Nothing wrong with either of these two options, however I'd go bat vesper or bumblebee. Having the ability to run 3.150 mags on a short action is a great ability to have for the short magnum rounds. Both the Impact/LonePeak will limit you to 2.980 detach mag length.
