I've built a few 6.5 RSAUMs and light weight 6 and 6.5 Creeds already. Just got a hold of my first Defiance AnTi, its like nothing weight wise, couldn't imagine anything but a Proof Sendero Light or a new Bartlein #4 contour for a build. Its a std bolt face (not sure the mag face was even avail at time of order) other than a 260AI, I cannot think of other choices that would appeal to others after I build it...input guys?
 
I have two anTi's on the way. One standard and one mag bolt face both short action. Already have 2 XLR Element Magnesium Chassis and 2 Hells Canyon summit ultralight barrels should be finished and shipped to me this month. One is going to be a 7 SS and the other a 6 creedmoor. Light weight deer rifle and a lightweight coyote gun
 
I really like the Bob, but in a std action could be tight if I wanted run those new Blackjacks, but the 25 Creed, i'm liking that idea! I've got a 6 and 6.5 SLR i'm playing with but figured a lit guys might consider that to far off the edge...all good ideas so far...might have to look at a Sherman Short though n educate myself.
 
I have a Bartlein carbon 6.5 blank on order, with the same ideas as you. I'll be watching this to see what you decide.

The "scale" makes the statement....when your using an action such as the AnTi...thats why u bought it, to see how low you can go....I can build a 6 1/2 lb rifle all day long, going sub 6 takes effort...I like both of your setups
 
I'd do a # 4 carbon Bartlein but i need to see if it fit in a EH3 that slightly longer drop at the palm swel feels nice to me but I know on a 4 easy) but the EH8+ is an option too..I came across a 22" proof sendero in .25 1-7 be a nice 25 Creed on a EH4...but my Proof Sendero Lite at 20" in 6.5mm is screaming at me...another RSAUM and a Wyatts box on Hawkins BM could be a winner
 
I just ordered an anTi last week- with a standard bolt and a second bolt for magnums. Im going to do a switch barrel with Proofs since I like the last two I did so much. I'm thinking of a 6.5x47 or a .308win for the standard and a Sherman in either 6.5 or .338 for the magnum.

it'll have a Manners EH6 stock.
