Sounds like the actions are good just the barrels were hit or miss. This one is a tack driver 28n but going wildcatI could never get my fierce ct rival to shoot despite having it warrantied twice. I was always already $3k+ into the rifle so I said screw it and bought a carbon 6 blank and rebarreled my rifle. I kept the trigger and stock as I like the bix and Andy trigger and don’t mind the stock. It now shoots well but I’m also around $4k in the rifle now. Will never touch another fierce. You have the action so might as well use it, unless you really don’t like it. Below is my 20 shot group from the new barrel. The shot on the left corner I pulled and knew it as the shot broke. Squares are 1”.
That's what seems to be the consensus. When did they move? Serial Number break from Canada to us?
I don’t think that having an extra ejector makes the ammunition make more pressure, you’re just able to ignore it longer with a single ejector, lol.The double ejectors have always pressured up sooner for me, I avoid any action with them at all costs. Unfortunately, Fierce thought it was a good idea
The rivals were not manufactured in Canada. Only the initial 3 lug actions like the EDGE and Fury were Canadian built. Antler arms is the company that was building them for fierce at the time. They still build guns up here, but as far as as I know they do not export them. My guess is some sort of clause from the separation with fierce.
I wish I had the equipment to measure but a theory I’ve read is it forces the case forward in the chamber more and causes it to pressure up quicker. I don’t know what’s true but what I do know as fact is, recipes near the top that I’ve used on single ejectors…I can’t get to without uncomfortable bolt lift. So I can’t get the velocity expected out desired and it’s kept me from buying any action with dual ejectors. It’s like someone was trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
