Lightweight Action

[Heel_N_Shoot]

Looking for opinions on best lightweight custom actions, prefer to stay in a 700 footprint. Thanks in advance

BAT Machine Vesper, Vesper S are the pinnacle of LW actions with Rem footprints

Most of the custom actions are all fantastic.

What features do you want and how fantastic can your budget stand?

Personally I would look at the lightweight Solus and Coup de Grace for 70ish bolt throw and Savage small shank prefits.

The AnTi has always impressed me, but I wouldn’t choose it based on features.

Kelbly Nanook is my personal favorite. I have a bat vampire as well but prefer the feel of the kelbly and the mechanical ejector.

I love mechanical ejectors!

Really like the Vampire too!! Kinda feel like it’s kinda a rem 700 footprint due to the flat bottom. requires different inletting.

MacBros Element (mack brothers).

Short action is 19.6oz I think.

Under $1000, even better with a military discount.

They are located like next door to LRI, so they can walk the action over instead of shipping if you want LRI to do the barrel work.

Went down this rabbit hole a while ago myself. Defiance antix is nice and light, but pricey. The defiance classic is also pretty light and more affordable. The Terminus apollo lite ti I checked out was nice, but not what I'd call lightweight at 26 oz. Pierce and Pure precision both make some light actions, haven't had the chance to try one yet. A buddy of mine recently had a rifle built on a pierce and he speaks very highly of it. I've got a falkor lw7 on order, they're 19.6 oz in a short action (plus bases). I had the opportunity to handle a long action falkor and was impressed enough to give one a try (although I don't think I'll have it built up in time for sheep season).

Just did a build off a 75 degree Nanook. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but have spent a bunch of time cycling it. I am liking it more and more

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