All Steel. Weighing as little as 22 oz.

As Defiance continues to innovate and find new ways to better serve their customers, we have pushed the envelope again. The anTi X is an ultra-lightweight action with integral skeletonized 20 MOA scope mount and recoil lug, that shares the same guaranteed head-space measurement as our Ruckus, Tenacity and anTi custom precision rifle actions. Using pre-hardened 416R stainless for the receiver and a 4340 chrome moly bolt, gives customers the smoothness, reliability and longevity that they have come to expect from Defiance Machine.

Saw some info on this, supposedly a steel action that's within a few ounces of a titanium action; integral recoil lug/scope base. What I got from it is they aren't fond of the heat properties of a Ti action, so they just cut a steel one down as low as they could, trying to keep a good balance between weight and strength.

That's just the regular anTi....
 
After thinking about this and considering the amount of stuff and options that are currently available from Defiance, the only guess I can come up with is a 22 LR action.
 
Is there a thread, on the Hide that discusses how difficult this action is to cock? I just put together a 6.5CM build utilizing an Anti-X (75⁰ bolt) and want to love it, but the difficulty in cycling the bolt doesn't line up with my use case.

75° bolt is always gonna have more force than a 90°. The standard 90° defiance aren't too bad.
