I didn’t specifically start out trying to build a rifle with all Canadian parts but here we are.
I happened upon this Gen 2 Ultimatum Deadline barreled action in the EE section of a Canadian Gun Forum.
The machinework on this action is excellent with not a single sharp corner.
It is a 3 lug 60 degree design with a Savage style extractor and twin ejectors.
The bolt diameter is far greater than a standard Savage or Remington bolt.
The barrel is an IBI in 6.5 Creedmoor with 1-7.5” twist.
It also has on it an MDT Elite muzzle brake.
The threading is the same as that of a small shank Savage barrel which I already have several of.
Being a Savage guy I asked around what everyone’s favorite 2 stage Remington clone trigger was and TriggerTech seemed to be highly thought of so I went with that.
As far as a chassis is concerned the MDT ACC fit all of my criteria and them selling a Deadline compatibility kit didn’t hurt.
Already owning 2 other MDT chassis systems I felt it was the way to go.
The chassis in FDE and accessories should be here on Tuesday.
The only other chassis I was thinking of was the Foundation Genesis 2 but after speaking with Foundation it seems that the barrel channel is not wide enough for the barrel nut.
Since I got this far I may as well throw my Tangent Theta TT525P on top of it to go all Canuck.
Truth be told I will need to replace the Vortex precision matched rings, made by Seekins Precision to a set of MDT rings to make it an all Canadian build.
