I wonder what the Kelbly's Nanook will weigh? I can't find the specs anywhere.

Lone Peak Fuzion Ti?
I
Was hoping you would chime in. Do you have a Ti receiver? I hear both good (weight) and bad (binding due to higher friction of Ti). Any thoughts?

I had a Lone Peak Ti 300 Norma, worked great with zero issues.

I have two, one in 6CM, and one that was a 6.5SS and is now a .260AI, and have shot several others.
Including a couple in 28 Nosler, run warm.
I have not had an issue with a Lone Peak Ti with the steel bolt. I did have sticky issues with another Ti action with Ti bolt.
I'm thinking this or one of the sheep cut actions from Defiance.
I'm wanting a 338 Norma or Lapua improved bad but just trying not to spend the money right now.
Should have jumped on the APR special but I kept the purse stings tight and opted for some new optics this year.
I have a 7 saum built on the anti and love it.

I have quite a bit of experience with Lapua sized cases. As Highdrum said, you want 1-1/8" threads and large lugs. Two actions meet the requirements. BAT HR and Borden Bigfoot. Bolt thrust on these cases is far more than other rounds with smaller diameter. BTW you don't want an ultralight rifle chambered in a big 338. It will be to hard to manage when trying to stay on target

Why not a Pierce full titanium lighter than even the anti x.

Pierce engineering also has a full titanium that meets those specs.
Agree even if I take my recoil on my bigger 30's I built mine light enough with to actions they are some work to shoot well at distance.
Although he may be thinking like I did build it super light add weight where I wants.

I'm building a 300 NMI myself. After a lot of research went with the Borden Bigfoot. It's not a light weight but the bolt and lugs are more substantial than any of the other actions I looked at. My build isn't a light weight though, it'll finish at 15 pounds or so scoped.
