Surgeon and Defiance have been the top two brands since the inception of the PRS, with Surgeon taking the top spot the first 2 years and the 2nd spot for the past 3 years. Surgeon Actions were the 2nd most popular action this year. 30% of the top shooters were running Defiance actions. They’re made with the most advanced computer-aided machining techniques and held to ridiculously tight tolerances. So let’s look at what the best precision rifle shooters in the world are using:ĭefiance Machine was the most popular action among the top shooters for the 3rd year in a row! Defiance offers actions with virtually every configuration imaginable. When you’re dropping that kind of cash, you want to make sure you’re investing in something that will serve you well for years to come. The action is the heart of the rifle, and we expect a lot from it … which is why you can expect to spend $1000+ for any of the popular custom actions.
Oh, did I mention it also needs to be a bomb-proof platform for your optics?
So on one hand, we demand actions with tight tolerances that are machined square and true, but on the other hand we must have clearances that allow them to continue to cycle through sand, grit, and grime that could easily lock-up a benchrest action. What makes tactical actions different is they must be magazine-fed for engaging multiple targets quickly, and they must provide bullet-proof reliability in adverse field conditions. The obvious one is it must be capable of delivering precision … but plenty of benchrest actions already do that. In the precision rifle world, we demand a lot from our actions.

So to land in this group of the top 100 you have to be an exceptional competitor. It is one of the fastest growing shooting sports, and has attracted some of the best riflemen in the world. Typical ranges for steel targets are from 300 to 1200 yards, and they are engaged from prone and improvised positions, often under extreme time pressure. PRS matches are tactical/practical long-range rifle matches shot in the field conditions. For those not familiar with the PRS, it’s an organization that tracks how 2,000+ competitors place in major rifle matches across the country.
