I know :shock: Pretty soon he's going to be saying things like "they haven't made a cartridge that hasn't duplicated something else in the last 80 years".
And, "you know the magnumitis these days is good for the gun industry but that's about it".
Or, "there ain't no trouble that a man can't fix with a thousand dollars and a thirty ot six!"
tod, you didn't just spot your first grey hair or somethin did you
well I got back from the range with my Titanium 30-06
fired 20 rounds of assorted ammo (110 gr. Hornady Vmax, 150 gr. Swift Scirocco, 168 gr. Nosler J4) without cleaning at all between shots
recoil wasn't too bad, I can feel my shoulder after 20 rounds though, feeding it a diet of mainly 150's @ 2700 fps :lol: A session with full house 180 or 200 gr. handloads might give me some fun
One group with the 150 gr. Swift Scirocco over 48.0 grs. of H4895 (Federal Gold Medal case/Federal 210M primer) shot into 1.2" @ 100 meters. That is what I'd expect out of a hunting load from this lightweight rifle. Velocity was 2762 fps avg. (few grains off max).
150 gr. Scirocco @ 1.2"
Shot another group with the Nosler 168 gr. J4 match bullet over 57.0 grs. H4350. Three shots into 1.45", (bottom 2 shots are the end of my session, two rapid fire shots with the 110 gr. Hornady Vmax over RL15...3350 fps @ .32")
168 gr. J4 @ 1.45"
Overall impressions so far is that this rifle is gonna hunt. Super light and fast handling, the thing is a feather in my hands. When I get the action bedded and experiment with some handloads I have little doubt this rifle will print sub MOA 3 shot groups from a rest. Looks really cool too. :mrgreen:

Oh ya, what did they charge for the rifle?
Congrats.
One thing though does the Titanium not come with a B&C stock already pillar bedded?Mine in .270 is But I got mine about 4 years ago. Just wondering if yours is not bedded if they stopped bedding to reduce cost .
BTW Any one have a good 35 cal bbl.I'm looking to conver mine to a 35 Whelen improved.

it has an aluminum bedding block, but I think it would still greatly benefit from having the barrel full length bedded. from what I've read, light wispy barrels tend to respond best to FL bedding, as opposed to a forend pressure point or free floating
Todd,
How is the stock configured compared to a mountain rifle. it looks a little flatter through the pistol grip. If the stock of a mountain rifle fits will the stock from the TI.
In a weak moment I agreed to sell my 260 Mountain rifle LSS to a buddy who has back problems and can't handle recoil anymore. I wonder if one of these would make an able replacement, the light varmint synthetic stock doesn;t fit me at all.
Give me your impressions.
