[QUOTE="parshal, post: 1570607, member: 605"] I’ve built three “lightweight” 6.5’s. One WSM on a Lone Peak titanium and two 6.6 SS. One was on a Defiance UL medium and the current on a Kelbly Atlas Tactical short action. I used Remington BDL bottom metal on all three since it was the lightest I could find. All three were in a Manners EH1 with a Bix’n Andy tacsport two stage trigger. I used a Wyatt’s box in the two SS which may not have been necessary but I had it. The Kelbly action was an ounce lighter than the Defiance UL. That’s my favorite action. Yes, it’s heavier than the Lone Peak but I like the mechanical ejector vs plunger. I like the full nitrided action. I also like the fact that it’s $500 less than the other two. Two of the builds had 26” bbl and one 28”. All were Proof carbon Sendero (Light, I think). I ran a suppressor on the WSM and a titanium self indexing brake on the SS. I took two elk with the WSM and an elk and mountain goat with the Defiance SS this year. [/QUOTE]
