[gpaw94]

Looking at getting the Defiance Ti-X. Anyone have experience with it? Also General opinions on Ti actions?

For me, no! What do you hope to gain with Ti? Are you going to use a Ti barrel?

I bought one but I haven't used it yet barrel is being chambered now.

1/2 lbs less than an anti x

I have a few and I really dont think they are worth it
1/2 lb is irrelevant

I mean Ti barrels would be pretty sweet! The biggest gain in my opinion is the decrease in weight allows better glass to be ran.

Is it the increased cost, or the feel that make it less worth it?

I run them on my rigs and like them. Like stated above the more I remover on things like that I can place elsewhere. I run the Pierce engineering ones and love them. But it really depends on the goal.

I should say for some of my rigs they would not be worth the extra cost. But when building a pack rifle sure. It does the same job as any steel action but less weight. Imagine have a scope that does everything you want but weighs less why not? Same with stocks and everything. So for some no it won't be others sure. I love mine but also don't use them on every build

That's where my thought with it is. I like my nx8, but it's on the heavy side. Plus when you start adding a can, bipod the weight can start adding up.

Work out, carry an extra 8 oz, and save some money.

Second.

Only application for me would be to build the absolute lightest sheep gun i could. outside of that. not worth it

I fully know the weight advantage; I have one in the LM bolt face. But you asked if it was worth the cost, and I gave you my honest opinion.

My .338 Thor.

I like Ti actions myself, built quit a few and just like the balance and feel when the whole rifle is built balanced. I favor Peirce actions in ti myself, my next custom build for myself will be Ti, might try the Pure precision action as it's one I haven't yet.
Personally I would rather have a robust Ti action vs a skeletonized steel, you see a lot of warping in ultra lite steel action too.

Yeah this is for a light weight 6.5 pack gun. Otherwise my other guns I just run tikka actions
