Defiance Action Updated Pricing

"Putin price hike" Biden has been warning us about. This is America; competition will prevail.

I don't think it will set off any increases elsewhere. As said above, someone buys a business and wants to immediately get their money back. Big Horn crept up slightly on their origin pricing from launch to now, but they also changed the material (chrome moly > stainless) and finish (blued > nitrided). I haven't kepted up with anyone else's pricing. Aero Precision will likely come in at a lower price point. If you look at MSRP vs street price on their stuff a $1000 MSRP on their action will be available a good deal cheaper a year or two after launch.

Question would be what action takes their place for around $1000? Defiance tenacity were a fabulous action for less than a grand. I think I would pick Big Horn. I'm not sure what a lone Peak, bat or impact actions run For their intro/budget line

Nothing wrong with the Big Horn/Zermatt. I'd personally pick up an ARC Nucleus.

I called them the other day to order a Anti and they told me 14 to 18 months wait with the price increase a lot of folks will look elsewhere.

• Black Nitride Treated

Our standard steel actions retail for $1050 with an integral recoil lug and our skeletonized "Shadow" actions retail for $1100. Nitride is available on both for an additional $50 and cerakote is available in the retail pricing. I'm not trying to be "that guy". However, there are still several options available in the $1000 range.

I don't think you're being "that guy" at all. The question was posed & you responded with a viable alternative.

If Defiance wants to price themselves out of that part of the market, no skin off my back.

For those of us who don't know you…what are your actions? Where can I view them?

Check your PM.

If I was making a product and backlog was 18 months i would raise prices to reduce demand to something manageable - less than 6 mo.

I think Defiance is just one of the first to start increasing prices on actions. I suspect others will follow sooner than later, but I hope I'm wrong.

You, Sir, are correct; this thread https://www.longrangeonly.com/forum/threads/lro-podcast-bob-beck-and-eric-stecker.12868/#post-124135 has pertinent information.

Yep. I've listened to the podcast and hope that more people do too. I work in manufacturing, managing projects with companies ranging from one-man shops, to the largest defense contractors. I haven't walked the floors of Defiance Machine (yet...maybe one day I'll have the privilege), but the podcast offers another perspective on this situation that I hope more people will listen to. Thanks for sharing.
