Defiance Ti-X

Anybody tried one of these actions? I am curious if the DLC coating solves the titanium galling issues on other titanium actions.

I'm curious to see if they cause/allow pressure signs to appear earlier than SS.

I have a pierce titanium action, the bolt on it, just like on the defiance is made of 4340, not Titanium.

Between that and the fact that the bolt isn't titanium, so you don't have Ti on Ti, I've not seen any galling. It's not as smooth as a tikka, but there's no issues running it.

Have you compared max velocity to a SS action on a similar build?
Does it achieve a normal MV,without pressure? Mine had a CM bolt.

I've seen one that cost me 150-200fps and have a buddy on this forum that has several the same way…. It's no fault of the manufacturers.
When it's a problem it IS the material, is my theory.

But I'm not climbing the Brooks Range, so it's simple for Me to go heavier, along with cheaper and it appears stronger.
