I own a fusion Ti couple impacts Kelbly… building a 25 creed for nrl hunter light and was wondering everyone’s opinion on which action and why… I was thinking defiance anti x but I can’t find one anywhere. Thanks for your input.

You should be fine with an impact or kelbly. The weight limit is 12lbs, which should be possible to get under with relative ease. The few ounces you save on an action likely aren’t going to be where your weight is going over the limit
I went with an Impact Titan in the hopes that the action weight savings will allow me to run shorter steel barrels instead of carbon barrels. My current setup is an MPA ultralight chassis, SB 3-20 in Hawkins ultralight rings, double pull ckye pod, and a 27" M24 steel barrel (6.25lbs with brake). It weights in at 15.5lbs, putting me under the heavy division limit. I can swap the ckye pod out for my TBAC and save some weight, and should be able to make up the difference with a 22ish" medium palma.
It can very well be the difference in class if going for a fully kitted comp gun and not a "real" hunting rig for NRLH and by the looks of the caliber choice thats what the OP is going for.
On average you save 1/2 a pound on the action if you go ultra light vs std steel. It matters if you want to run a heavier scope although there are more savings to be made on the Chassis/stock and Barrel thats for sure.
I went thru this exercise a few months ago except my goal was to have a sub 16 gun so i went with a std LP Fuzion. Saving weight on the action will "buy" you credits to "spend" somewhere else if you wanna get sub 12 is the way you have to look at it.
For example the weight savings of running your anti x are about as much as you need to offset the weight of a full length arca rail, a full sized steel break and collar vs a no break gun or maybe your bipod choice... There are not many quality scopes out there under 1.5 pounds (without mount) with a top end of 16x either so that's one area where you wont save much and if you are dead set on a specific scope you'll need the savings somewhere else.
If going for sub 16 it really is a wash, if going for sub 12 go light on everything funds allow.

My newest rig, bought it here from another Hide member.
Defiance Rebel with a 24" Heavy Palma in a Manners CF T6A is just over 10-lbs.
After I add a S&B PM2 (either 3-20 or 5-25?), mount, bipod, etc., I'll still be well below the 16-lbs limit.

I’ve been working through weights of different components for a light division build myself. Just based off weight, the Lone Peak Razor at 26 ounces is a good action. The AnTi is a good one too. Unless you go titanium, the impact is pretty heavy.
Red hawk rifles just got in some anti x actions and I picked one up.
