Does anyone have Rem 700 Titanum?

Is it as accurate as staineless steel?

Is Titanum as durable as stainless steel?

I'm thinking about getting it and I was wondering if
anyone had experience with it?

I have one in 7-08...the barrel is stainless....so it's as accurate as any other stainless rifle. There's only one part on the Rem Ti that is made form titanium and that's the receiver...
 
We have a Browning A-bolt in the shop that has a titanium action and it is amazing how much lighter it is and how it changes the dynamics of the gun, alot more weight out front now, which should be good for accuracy off hand.

I bought one a Year ago...the More I Pack it around the More I love it:cool:
The 700 Titanium uses the Exact same light contour barrel as the Stainless Laminate Mountain rifle so expect accuracy to be about the same.

I'm getting about an 1-1/4" average groups right now with my Handloads. Certainly not a Bench gun but not Bad for a Featherweight rifle.
some room for Improvement with Future load development when I get more time (I'm guessing a bedding job will help too):cool:
 
Titanium is a more durable, lighter metal......stronger as in could it take heavier loads or what do you mean?
 
had one in 30-06 and once I bedded it and floated the barrel, it would shoot .75" average with 168 gr triple shocks. accurate Id say, but unless you need a real light rifle, just go stainless

In terms of rigidity and being able to take the stresses.
 
I read some stuff like this on metal-oriented sites:

"The galling tendency of titanium is greater than that of stainless steel. his(sic) necessitates close attention to lubrication in any forming operation in which titanium is in contact (particularly moving contact) with metal dies or other forming equipment."

And a reviewer mentioned that with titanium gun parts you need to keep some grease on them to prevent this, but they didn't test the gun long enough to see if titanium galling is an issue.
