[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 2417573, member: 96274"] I’m in the process of putting together a mid weight rifle build. It’s going to be a 300 win mag to replace my current 300 that weighs in at about 13.5 lbs. I’m not a fan of super light rifles so I’m aiming for a 10 lb rifle complete with scope. So the first question is can that weight be pretty easily achieved with an action that will weigh 30-34 ounces? I don’t have any interest in going titanium with the action, and would like to stick with a good stiff steel action design. I have a carbon wrapped Bartlien barrel, 2 lb carbon fiber stock and Hawkins BDL bottom metal for this build to keep weight down so I think I can hit my goal regardless of action weight. The Lone Peak steel Fuzion has my interest because I hear nothing but positive reviews and that it will most likely be the smoothest action out there. I would get the Alpine cut version to save a few ounces and make top loading easier. The Defiance actions have had my attention for quite awhile and to be honest I just love the look of the Defiance Ruckus Hunter with the bridged integral rail. I feel this design would be plenty stiff while still shaving some unnecessary weight from the rail area as well as making top loading easy. The Kelbly Atlas Tactical is another action that’s been high on my list for a while. I love the idea of the mechanical ejection and in a lot of internet searching have found very positive reviews of the action. I know this action is about $400 cheaper then the other two I’m interested in but seems it will still be as solid and accurate of a performer as any I choose. Saving the $400 is not a priority but can certainly help me put more funds into other areas. So guy’s if you could give me your experience and opinions on which action you would choose and why I would appreciate it. Thank you for your help Joshua [/QUOTE]
