Impact actions are celebrated for their precision and reliability, which are essential for extreme long-range accuracy. The 777R and 737R have tight tolerances and smooth operation. They deliver consistent performance, supported by a robust design that withstands powerful cartridges. Their popularity among the top competitive shooters underscores their ability to excel in precision rifle competitions.
Extreme long-range shooting, hitting targets beyond 1,500 yards, requires sub-MOA accuracy. The Impact Precision 777R, a long-action receiver with an integral recoil lug and a 20 MOA Picatinny rail, is machined from a single piece of steel, ensuring rigidity and alignment.
The weight of an action can impact the balance and stability of your custom-built ELR rifle. Heavy materials, like steel, can help with recoil management due to the additional weight of the action. A lighter material can reduce the weight but compromise durability and recoil management.
With a custom-built ELR rifle's action, you will want to ensure the action footprint is widely used, like a Remington 700. A standard footprint can simplify your build, allowing you to adapt to various ELR conditions and requirements with drop-in pre-fit barrels.
The bolt face design of an action determines its caliber compatibility. Look for an action that is appropriately sized or interchangeable with the larger calibers required for extreme long-range shooting. When shooting larger magnum calibers, a robust bolt face can ensure reliable extraction under extremely high pressures.
