This video details a budget-friendly bolt-action rifle build, the Outlier Backdraft, designed for long-range precision under $2,000. The build features a unique carbon fiber barrel shroud that acts as an extended blast baffle, a Fletcher Rifle Works Texas Flood suppressor, a Pristine Action praised for its smoothness, and an Arken Optics SH-4J Gen II scope. The rifle achieved sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards and hits out to 1,100 yards with Hornady ELD-M ammunition.
This review of the Pristine Action by Joel from Precision Rifle Network focuses on its performance in a custom build. While the action is deemed good and capable of home gunsmithing with Remage barrels, it's noted as not quite as smooth as Defiance or Terminus actions. The reviewer experienced some ejector swipe and minor binding initially, attributing it to short-stroking the bolt, which improved with familiarity. A potential downside mentioned is the possibility of the bolt handle breaking or cracking, though this may have been rectified.
