Is an Integral Rail That Important?
I’m working with my gunsmith on a custom rifle build. We ordered a Defiance AnTI, and I saw that they discontinued it.
The rifle will be 7mm PRC for Colorado backcountry elk hunting with shots between 200 and 500 yards (I practice out to 1000 at my range). It’ll be in an MDT HNT 26 chassis with a 22” Proof carbon barrel, and I shoot suppressed.
With the AnTI being discontinued, I did some research on the AnTI X and started second guessing my gunsmith’s recommendations.
When we were starting the build (in May) I explained that I want the lightest rifle possible because I hike ~10 miles into the backcountry.
Am I splitting hairs here or would the AnTI X be a better option for me? Or will lightweight Talley mounts on the AnTI be perfectly fine?
