22 GT build - 737r vs Coup De Grâce

I'm building a 22 GT and torn between a 737r and the Coup De Grâce. It will be used 90% range non-competition shooting (200-1,000 yards), 5% coyotes, and 5% mt lions. Using a trigger tech trigger and most likely the KRG Bravo chassis but open to using another chassis. Shooting suppressed and likely on a Bartlein barrel.

Anyone have experience with the coup de grâce? Is the pivoting bolt handle a better option than fixed? Even after they raised the price by $300 it's still a few hundred less than the 737r - definitely a factor I'm weighing but not a big deal if the 737r is in fact significantly better.

Thanks in advance!

We bought about a dozen CDG and they work great! Like the Pivoting and fixed can say either is better. Now we bought them at $800each.
Have had a dozen Impacts 737r and they are really GREAT "SLICK" but $1400+. For what you are using go with the CDG.
Chassis - Go with an MPA they have been #1 in the PRS Shooting World. There are many options with MPA. I think that they are the best with that we also use AX AICS and that Chassis is well made.

I appreciate your input. Unfortunately CDG are now $1,200 so the extra $200ish for the 737r isn't a deal breaker for me. I've had the MPA chassis for 5+ years on my 7mm Sherman Short Mag and I do like it but I may end up going a bit lighter with this set up.

I do like that the 737r now has a 75 degree option and the CDG is 70 degrees.

Get the IMPACT!!! You will like it.
I have not looked at the CDG price increase.
 
If I may suggest a third option just from a major money saving point? I understand if you are nailed down to only your two suggestions and if so I apologize and respect that. As of right now PVA has a smokin Black Friday deal on solus barreled actions and Redhawk has an amazing deal on just the solus action if you have nothing against them, I've ran my shooting buddy's and it feels really nice. For what it's worth I have a 22GT PVA spun up for my savage model 11 on a rock creek man it shoots. I also have it in a MDT XRS chassis, MDT black Friday sale as well. Just some ways to save some serious money and have a great shooting rig as well. Happy Thanksgiving from Sinton,Texas.
 
I have built on several CDG's by now, everything from 223 AI to a 300 PRC, no complaints from myself or my customers. Even at the current price, it is hard to beat.
 
I appreciate the input. I don't know many shooters who have experience with the CDG which makes me lean more heavily toward the tried and true, proven 737r with the 75° bolt.
 
I've owned an impact for a few years and a couple barrels and I've shot 2 different cdg's. St the original price they were a lot of action but being a few hundred off the impact I'd go impact. It's a nicer feeling action
