[Buzzsaw]

which one is best?

leaning towards a Pierce now

do like a integrated rail

will be used for ultralight hunting rifle build

I love my Pierce. A machined in rail or mini rail would be nice but you have more options without.

+1 on a Pierce Ti action. I have one with the new Nitride treated Ti bolt.
It's a light one, at 16 oz. I also picked up a Murphy precision Ti rail.
Both companies are great people to deal with.

+1 on the Lone Peak. I built a 270 SS on one and it works and shoots great. I understand that you can even get a TI bolt now and save even more weight.

I sold my Pierce because it would bind when working the action without moving it down from my shoulder. I called Pierce about it. Their solution was choke up on the bolt.

I don't know about the Pierce, but Lone Peak nitrides the bolt which really helps reduce the binding.......Rich

The Ti bolt on my Pierce is Nitride treated.
Smith says "runs like silk"
Hopefully I'll get to run it soon.
They have addressed the rough running.

I will say Pierce will build you whatever you want. If you want it nitrided they will do it. If you want it cerakoted they will. I have only cycled one titanium so I can not compare but I am satisfied with mine. I think it is as smooth as any of the other manufacturers' stainless actions. My benchrest actions were in a different league. My chrome moly nitrided Pierce is the smoothest hunting action I have cycled and I have cycled most.

I checked today & per e-mail from Mike at LPA
No Ti bolt currently, maybe in future.

Hmmmm I thought they already had one? Did they have an option that was lighter weight?

I talked with him yesterday. They don't have a lighter bolt, but will nitride the steel bolt.

Yes, I have a nitrided bolt on my LPA TI action. I misquoted on the TI bolt. The guy who told me he built one was on a Pierce, not a LPA.......Rich
