Hey guys I have a Remington model 700 Alaskan Titanium chambered in 280 Remington. I believe that its a first gen model (2007) (CB). I have owned it since new and its in excellent shape. I have a super tight load built for it with barnes bullets. I am considering selling it for a new project as it has sat in the safe for 3 or 4 years since I shot it last. I am having trouble finding out what it might be worth? I appreciate your input.
Remington Model 700 Alaskan Titanium Value ?

I would sell the scope separately, you'll get more out of it.
The catch is finding the right buyer, someone that really wants it and does not realize how poorly made they were. The original Titanium is the desired rifle as it was light but in most cases the receiver was used to build a better rifle.
The Alaskan Titanium was overpriced when it first came out and was far from being a lightweight rifle. Huge quality control issues on the Remington floor at the time when these rifles were made. I tried one out and ended up in a battle with the shop that sent it to me. There were problems with the barrels, cracked and warped stocks, off-centre holes for the action screws, chipped crowns, faulty extractors, etc. So, if the rifle you have is pristine and happened to avoid the Q/C issues, you might have something worth a few bucks due to its rarity. I would guess $1500 at the high end, but you could fetch far higher depending on the rifle's condition and how badly someone wants it.
I sold an original Titanium for $2000, but it was new in box and someone was willing to pay. Supply and demand.

The last Alaskan new one I seen on the shelf was 1900.
Alaskan was 2nd gen with fluted barrel and black/grey stock , original model was no floor plate, skinny barrel and plain black stock - which one do u have? Might be wrong but don't think 280 was available in original model.
I imagine u have quite a few private messages! Lol

While i Appreciate every ones elses OPINION to the Value of your rifle i Believe they are LOW ! I Firmly believe you can get at Least $2000.00 for it with maybe a bit of Wait time BUT it might also Sell in 15 minutes ! I'm basing my value of your rifle on the FACT of what it costs to have a Custom M700 rifle built like yours - Much MORE then $2000.00 with out using a VERY RARE to Obtain TITANIUM action ! Also the FACT is they are VERY Rare to come up for Sale ! Now yours is Used but im thinking from your Excellent Condition statement it will NOT detract much from its REAL Value ! all this is JMHO ! FLAME away anyone ! lol

Second gen came out in 2007. First gen wasn't offered in 280.
I had a first gen that I stupidly sold years ago. They don't come up for sale often, and considering most of the new higher end Remington's 700's SS run ~$1500 new, I wouldn't let it go for much under $2000.

But at that price point you can get a new Kimber Sub-Alpine or a Barrett Fieldcraft. Without changing the stock you are still looking at the price of a new Kimber Montana. There weren't any options of comparable weight and price in those days, but there are now.

Yep, and the Kimber will still be lighter than the Rem Ti even in the lighter stock. But, doesn’t mean people won’t pay $2000 or more for the Ti, while I don’t personally get it many Rem fans out there.
