The Defiance Rebel is a really good one, especially since it can be spec'd out to your exact needs. This would be for a hunting action. "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

Lots of great stuff out there with just about every configuration imaginable if you've got the cash. What are you wanting to build? Heavy varmint single feed .20 Vartarg is gonna be a different answer than a light 7 Saum with a blind mag. Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Stocks, triggers, DBM's, rails, etc. are almost all off the 700 footprint.... Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

If you want light, a 17oz long action w/bolt and integral recoil lug is a pretty sweet start to a mountain rifle. Quote The Ti long action integral Skele-Ti will be right at 17-17.1oz Pierce Titanium actions Skeletonized version with a traditional pinned lug NRA Endowed Patron Life Benefactor GOA Life Member TSRA Life Member NSCA Life Member

Quote I have some exciting news for you guys! We have developed a new lightweight hunting action at Pierce Engineering. This action is a skeletonized version of our successful Titanium action and it incorporates a lightened steel bolt. We were able to match the weight of our Ti Featherweight action by using a steel bolt opposed to a Ti bolt. We are still working on our short action version but the long actions are ready to be ordered! The Skele-Ti long action weighs a mere 17.5oz complete with dual pinned recoil lug. This is one of the lightest if not the lightest Remington footprint long action available today! The price is $1450 and $50 more for full DLC action body. All Skele-Ti actions will have DLC coated bolts and DLC coating can be added to the action body as well for $50 extra. The lightened bolt features extra deep flutes but still remains unfluted on the bottom to retain smooth cycling and no scratching up your brass. Our bolt handle is skeletonized as well and made of hardened steel to prevent bending. This action retains the same size bolt, action body, bolt lugs, threads, etc. as our standard long actions and material wasn’t removed in those critical areas. Another exciting thing is these actions along with all of our other standard actions will be made with integral recoil lugs in the near future! The price on the integral Skele-Ti actions will be $1550. I’ll post some photos below. I hope you guys like it! Thank you.
