Stiller predator/tac series are a nice entry level custom action. The important parts are correct, everything you try to fix on a Remington 700 is correct out of the box. You need to buy a rail and recoil lug with the stiller. The pic rails are pinned which is a nice touch. The finish of the stillers is utilitarian/subdued.
The defiance actions are beautifully machined, and highly polished. You order the action with your choice of elevation built into the pic rail. You also have a pile of different options to choose from like style/depth of bolt flutes, bolt shroud, extraction system (they now offer CRF), ejection port size and side, coned or flat bolt.
I've built rifles with stillers and with defiance. I never took the time to measure the actions internal clearances so take this next bit with a grain of salt as it is my feelings not necessarily the facts.
The defiance actions feel smoother and tighter than the stiller. Now depending on your intended use this could be good or bad. I really don't think you could go wrong either way. In the rifles I've built with these actions I didn't notice one to be more accurate than the other.
