Did he say at the end of the video that the entire action is aluminum?

The bolt locks up in the barrel. Therefore, the receiver is merely a housing for the bolt and serves no purpose with regard to containing the pressure of the fired round and can be made as lightly as possible.

Which, makes it all the more disappointing that it is an 8.8 pound pig. That rifle could be made very lightly.
