They also have and all steel skeletonized action (called The Shadow) that weighs the same as the anti action and I don’t believe they show any of that info on their sight. Best thing to do is go to the threads on the longrangehunting forum and read that. There is a bunch of weighs and pictures in various configurations Here is a pic from that forum directly from pierce. It’s a short action skele-ti with integral lug and no base Last edited by LeftHunter; 06/21/23.

In order of ease to conserve weight are: 1. Barrel length and taper 2. Blind magazine as opposed to bottom metal 3. Stock material 4. Action weight And if you want to get crazy, caliber selection. For equal length and taper a .308 will be about .3 ounces lighter than a 6.5 You could chamber in .358 Win for even more weight pinching.
