In keeping with the theme of sharing all of the cool stuff with you guys first, I'm posting this
A bunch of you probably knew this was coming, but some might not have. Defiance announced a new light weight action earlier in the year. The thing that really made this interesting news is the fact that they said they were sticking to stainless instead of titanium. Not exactly the normal path most other makers are following. They were kind enough to send us what may be the first sample of this thing in the wild......and we're all extremely impressed. Our sample weighs in at 20 ounces all in(action, bolt, rail).
That's pretty impressive for a stainless action! They were extremely creative in where they chose to remove the weight. Most areas are well hidden and far enough from critical areas as to maintain strength and rigidity where it is needed. Maybe the coolest feature of all is that by avoiding Ti construction, they were able to avoid Ti pricing! This thing will retail around $1,000. Pretty awesome for a true light weight action with Defiance level fit and tolerances. We'll be launching a whole new line on it in the next few days that will look real familiar to many of you
