23oz w/ integral rail and lug.

I have several ARC actions and the CDG is lightweight in name only. I'd much rather have a Mousingfield for the same weight as the CDG

I thought the Coup De Grâce was about a quarter pound lighter? With the fluted bolt handle, etc.. Idk ?

Like I said, I don’t want crap getting down in my action, so a closed top is more important than 4 or 5 ounces. And the absolute lightest gun possible is not the “be-all to end-all” for me.

IIRC the Mousingfield was within a couple Oz of the CDG lightweight. I also didn't like the idea of the CDG being open to dust and debris.

I also have one. I think you can get the new ones with a 75 degree throw and 3.150 that will fit with unknown munitions magazines.

another vote for impact NBK, I have an earlier model at 28.5 oz. I am considering an ANTIX. Considering the LW7, but prefer an integrated rail.

+1 for Pierce Engineering Skele-ti. I have it in short-action. It has an integral recoil lug. Their website is horrendously out-of-date. The long-action is cited at 17.5 oz. I want to say that when I weighed the short action, it was 15.9 oz. Mine is full DLC coated. Does what you expect a custom action to do. Can get shouldered prefits from McGowan / PBB, or Remage-style barrel nut; it is compatible.

I've only had it 10 months or so, mind you. Very happy so far.

Same. If your main goal is extreme weight savings, this is it.

Another fan of Pierce Ti action.

They are also good to work with.

Also FWIW, the load port on these work with the unknown munitions DBM that has 3.150” internal length in the magazine.

Makes using a medium length action less likely to be needed with 6.5 PRC and SAUM cartridges.

Work on the shadow lightweight steel as well?

Any feedback on Curtis Customs Hybrid Hunter?

They are solid.

I just built off of a defiance Ti-X and I like it so far no complaints with the Titanium as of now.

Did you get a chance to cycle other Ti actions and if you did how did it compare?

18.5 for SA
20.8 for LA for pierce titanium

16.1 for SA
17.2 for LA for the new defiance Ti

just looked at both websites

Check out the Ti actions at Snowy Mountain rifles. SA is 15 and long is 16 for F-22R with integrated lug and rail. The F-16A Ti without rail is SA is 13.5 and LA is 14.5 oz
