[QUOTE="Nevrsummr, post: 2165727, member: 112260"] Looks like next build will be a short ultralight build for my wife. 6.5 prc with a 22" ish barrel. Im on the fence about which action to use. Narrowed down to the following: [B]Defiance anti-x (ac[/B]cepts prefits i believe) (heard of low clearance from bolt handle to scope?) [B]Terminus kratos lite ( [/B]like the 3 lug bolt) [B]Pierce Titanium[/B]. ( currently have one with no issues to report) (lightest available) One concern is action strength. I have read about actions being much stronger and having less issues with pressure signs. Im a noob here so i dont really understand how that all works out. BAT for example claims their vampire action is 31-42% stiffer than light weight steel and 130% stiffer than titanium. Is that true? Does it matter? Would it be worth an extra say 12 Oz to get a stiffer action? And if i did, would i see increased velocities due to it being able to handle hotter loads without pressure signs? Again, noob here so please forgive my ignorance. Also, i am more interested in learning the hows/whys from this post than in having someone pick an action for me. Would love to hear real world experience with these actions and pressure signs as well. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
