i had the rem titanium 30 06 was a great gun,carried it for 2 years recoil was not that bad ,i had a leupold 1.75x6,good friend fell in love with it so he bought it , would not leave me alone. i do regret selling it.i would buy again only this time i would by in a different caliber . they also have a funny hollow feeling when you close the bolt, the flutes in the bolt tended to get s//t in them when i went for long walks and i did not like the blind magazine.it was accurate with the 180 grain boat tails,working up loads did not take much time and it loved 180 rem bronze point factory ammo,friend still has it and its his go to deer gun cheers george
