Does anyone know what GAP's Defiance templar SA weighs compared to a SA Remington 700 action? Receiver and bolt only. Thanks a bunch.
 
Defiance / GAP Templar actions vs Remington

Kinda depends:

Defiance makes several Templar action configurations for GA Precision

Standard target action with the top bridge closed in and the longer thread tenon weighs several ounces more than the SA rem.

Shorter tenon, 'hunter' style actions are darn close, but still heavier because receiver walls are beefy-er.
