Defiance Machine anTi X

[Defiance Machine]

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.

Innovative weight reduction. Premium Materials. No compromises.

Alright, a Defiance anTi X-Bolt.

 

[b6graham]

CRF/ME?!

This thread is like those ads at the bottom of the webpage where it's a picture of a super hot chick with a caption like "You won't believe what she did next!" and then it turns out to be some scammy penis enlargement landing page.

Clickbait.

Maybe a Defiance version of the R700 EtronX?

 

[Flywheel]

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....

Lol, I can't read, been up two days now .

 

[Edds]

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.

 

[Dai Bando]

Yeah, a super light .22lr would go real big.....

 

[XTREM HTR16]

Xtra large magnum action?

 

[B-P-UU]

Do they currently offer the anTi in their
Medium action?
If not, could be that...

Xtra large magnum action?

Im in for that

 

[Buck300]

Medium action?

Yes they do. Sill a mystery, we will soon find out.

 

[hollywood1981]

watching!

 

[Buck300]

It's on the web site. AnTi with integral scope mounts. Looks nice 22 oz

 

[m6z]

Interesting. Recommend rings?

 

[Defiance Machine]

The regular anTi is already offered in Short (Model 7 length), Medium (700 SA), our XM (intermediate), and Long (700 LA).

 

[Wrangler13]

Are theses available right now? If not, lead time?

 

[Defiance Machine]

Are theses available right now? If not, lead time?

Yes, they are available to order now. The current lead time will be about 14 weeks.

Done! Lol...

 

[Defiance Machine]

CRF/ME?!

Not this time. Due to the design and necessary modifications to achieve most lightweight actions, no one really offers the CRF in a lightweight action. I'm sure if Glen can figure out a way to do it though, he'll try to make it happen.

 

[Defiance Machine]

Interesting. Recommend rings?

There are a lot of great lightweight ring manufacturers. It'll really depend on the glass you're using and personal preferences.

 

[808caliber]

Interesting. Recommend rings?

Arc rings all day. Rock solid and easy to install.

They are also about the same diameter as the wheels on your truck.

Talley makes some nice ultralight ones.

 

[Ordnance Locker]

Interesting. Recommend rings?

If it's lightweight you're looking for, I would suggest Hakwins Precision Ultra-Light, APA, or Nightforce Ultralite.

 

[808caliber]

Lol true. They are 5oz ish. So def not light. But im ok with that due to my faith in them keeping my scope solid to my action without slipping.

 

[baddoggy]

I’m planning a build now and am wondering what the weight of the anTi x is compared to the anTi is with add on rail.

They're almost the same weight when you use the full length rail, <1oz

Are you able to do pre fits with these also?

We guarantee the headspacing the same as the Ruckus and the Tenacity.

We guarantee the headspacing the same as the Ruckus and the Tenacity.

Thank you

Can we order it to fit wyatts extended magazine box?

Yes.

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.

I hear you. But comparing my 75* Anti to my buddy's 75* 737, the two are night & day. I replaced the factory spring with Defiance's 18 lb spring. It's definitely less force. I'm just hoping I still get good ignition (ie no light strikes).

I wonder if the new 75° bolts have more sear engagement?

My Defiance Deviant with 90° has a pretty light bolt throw.

 

[Mahaffey82]

Well, the difficult cocking issue finally caught up to me during a match this past weekend. The bolt is absolutely siezed / bound / galled in the closed position.
We were able to get the barrel off and the spent case fell right out with no signs of pressure. So a stuck case isn't the culprit. Still no movement on the bolt though.
We're at an absolute loss as to what could possibly bind up this bad in such a relatively simple machine with only a small handful of moving parts.
Reached out to Defiance hoping they have some wisdom on next step(s).

 

[45-90]

I don't like all the cut out area on the top of the action, for my tastes.
But it's supposed be light, so hang a light, or popular CF barrel on it and your good to go.

 

[secondofangle2]

Mine is amazing

 

[TheTank140]

I just got my action in, put a proof CF barrel in 7 PRC on it with a MCS pro hunter stock. Crazy light weight. Waiting on my suppressor and optic to be delivered so I can get out and shoot it. Action is very well made.
