Not doubting, but do you have a link? My google isn't showing it.
The start of a lightweight build.

It's an option on the drop down box on the defiance page for the anti.

Not real knowledgeable about Kelby or BAT. Something I am looking for, and I know Impact does, and I THINK AnTi does is me being able to change barrels in my basement whenever my little heart desires.

Defiance Machine anTi Action
If you watch your scales as closely as you watch your targets, you will want to check out the Defiance anTi action—a minimalist take on Defiance’s legendary precision actions.

Not in stock but there it is. I have also heard the Nanook is smoother but I don't have any experience

It's starting to look like the AnTi might be the better option then the Impact.

How do Kelbly handle dirt? I know how well Impacts work, no idea how Defiance, Kelbly, and the others do when it gets dirty.
I went a similar direction wanting light weight but not an overall ultra-light rig. My thoughts were to make the rifle come in in the low six's to compensate for the add-ons. Then a suppressor and medium weight scope has the entire rig just under 9 pounds loaded. The build specs are an An-Ti in LA, 20 inch CF barrel, AG stock, NX8, TB Ultra 7 and bi-pod.
There's considerable weight to be saved on scope if desired but I'm willing to take that penalty for performance. I could also save a few ounces by going with a Talley style ring / base but again, I love the durability of the Hawkins or Seekins in a pic rail. Same with the can out front, I could shave some weight there and may consider that as well as the bi-pod on my muley hunt this fall.
I'm running 180 Hybrids in a 7 SUAM at 2800 getting an Inch at 300 yards. I'll be taking it to 600 very soon.

They handle dirt just fine.
Just an option and opinion from a guy who owns multiples of both. Try and get your hands on one of each before you buy. I would bet it changes your mind.

That looks pretty sharp my friend.
Something I should add in regards to weight is it will be suppressed 100% of the time.

Am I reading these reviews correctly? Both the Nanook and AnTi CANNOT use AICS style mags?

Just wrapping up my "lighter weight" hunting build in 280AI. Went with Terminus Kratos Lite at 27oz. Wanted an impact but didn't want the extra weight.
