I’m looking at putting together a rifle for NRL Hunter. I’m looking at either a lone peak fuzion or impact 737. Also considering a bighorn TL3. Any suggestions from those who have compared them?

All three of those are great actions. Just a matter of which has features you like. The TL3 is CRF/mechanical ejection, while the other two are push feed/plunger ejection. The Lone Peak with an “Alpine Cut” will save you some ounces if you want to allocate weight somewhere else if you’re trying to make open light class.

Impact has the NBK that’s lighter than the 737. Much like the alpine cut Lone Peak.
I’ve got two NBK’s, very nice actions.

Yeah impact seems to be pretty popular. I just haven’t got a chance to handle one in person.

I have an Origin, I do like the bolt close on it. Not sure how much improvement the TL3 has over it.

You are not going to go wrong with an Impact or Lone Peak! I have ran both and can't tell the difference between one over the other!

I like Lone peak but not sure how different it is or isn't from an Impact. Alpine cut or NBK would be ideal imo.

Supposedly you can order a push feed bolt face from Zermatt if the CRF style doesn't appeal to you. Only time I've heard of it getting funky is when you single feed it over and over which I doubt you would do.

Ive never cycled a bighorn but I can say that me and my dad lined up a series of custom rifles (defiance, curtis, impact, lone peak, custom rem 700). The curtis was the smoothest bolt throw and operation but I think that was due to the 60degree throw. Second was very close between the impact and lone peak, but we gave the edge to the lone peak because it had less than 50 rounds through it and the impact had 1000 plus, fourth went to defiance because even after thousands of rounds through it the action was still pretty tight, lastly was the custom Remington 700 but I think thats what you should expect.

How well do Bat's handle dirt and weather? Obviously speaking to past tactical/hunting models, not ther BR/F-class stuff...Hammerhead action is interesting, but it has to handle the elements.
