What makes Defiance better than other actions?

Our Founder, Glen Harrison, has been designing benchrest-quality bolt actions since 1992. His innovative mindset, passion for design, and commitment to providing world-class products and customer service is embedded in the culture of Defiance. In order to build the best rifle action, you need to start with the best materials, machining centers, and tooling available. You also need the best employees to make it all happen.

Defiance actions aren’t “just another action.” Glen uses accuracy-enhancing design features learned while competing in benchrest and building benchrest rifles, in all of our actions. We make almost every part in our facility and that allows us to design components that fit properly ensuring the most accuracy from the action.

We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” product. We have more options than any other manufacturer and the customer gets to choose the options that fit individual needs and style. Our proprietary manufacturing software allows us to machine custom products efficiently in a production facility. We make each action individually to your specs. You’ll never need to wait an extra two months because you ordered a left-handed action.

Last, but most important, we offer unparalleled customer service. We answer the phone and take time to help each customer, large or small. The success of our customer—whether a competitor, hunter, or rifle builder—is our highest priority.
