SKLTN or Pierce?

[TheWhitetailNut]

I'm building a 7-6.5 PRCW as my new mountain rig. I'd like a lighter action but actually want the gun to finish a half pound heavier than the Christensen Classic II I've carried the last 10 years. I'm moving to Alaska so feeding has to be flawless in case of brown bear issue. Other than that I'm more performance driven, can you build a consistent sub .5" rifle on a SKLTN? I like them both but the SKLTN is pretty sexy resembling the Gunwerks actions? The Pierce has always had my interest because they are only 3 hours away in Michigan and I've heard they are very straight. Not that it has any bearing on the action, the heaviest 20" Bartlein CF barrel and Peak 44 Bastion will round out the major components.

Check out the Falkor LW7 if feeding is your primary concern, and they are super light as well. The first time I used one I kept double checking to make sure it picked up a round because it fed so insanely smooth. I have 3 of them now and still grin every time I push a round into the chamber.

Of the two, SKLTN for me. I own both and am not overly impressed with the Pierce. I have had a couple quality control issues with it. The SKLTN's have ran smooth for me.

I'll check it out

I’ve had Pierce and SKLTN titanium’s. I prefer the SKLTN. Have heard great things about the Falkor mentioned above as well. It’s a great time to be a consumer in the action space. Lots of fantastic options.

The Falkor looks like a lightly modified and rebranded Impact Precision action. In my PRS rifle the Impact feeds slick and true every time, but I avoided them because I had some questions and they do not answer Phones, emails, FB messages or carrier Pidgeon, ever.......... I'm not sure it can be because the Falkor is about $300 less.

But yes, lots of options today.

I don't think there is any relation between the two. Rem 700 footprint actions tend to be similar to eachother. Falkor answers emails very quick, I've asked them many questions via email.
