Lite action for ultra lite mountain rifle build

[muleman69]

Looking for some in put as to what would be a lite but strong action for a mountain rifle build. It will take a long action as I'm going to chamber it in a .280AI. My scope weights one pound and would like rifle to come in around 6.5# Total

I'm not certain, but I believe chrome-moly actions are lighter than stainless steel actions. Is your budget limited?

 

[JRS]

I'm not sure what the actual weight is, but it's light.

Take a look at Lone Peak Ti action.

I second Lone Peak TI

Didn’t know there were actions made out of Ti. I assume they’re very light, and expensive.

Edit: looked up the Lone Peak action. Not as bad as I thought at $1,200

Might look at the Pierce Ti.

Mine has a 26" Douglas barrel and a custom Kevlar stock by Mark Brown of Brown Precision.It also has a Jewell trigger. Yes,it is a 280AI.

Don't remember for sure,but I believe a little over 5lbs without the scope.
I will say,it gives you a pretty good thump when you fire it off the bench.

I dont,know if a 280 will fit in a model 7 action. I bet titanium is lighter. Matt

Mine is a long action and yes, a short action is too short.
