Titanium rifles?

[big bear]

Any feedback on experiences with remington and Browning titanium bolt action rifles. Remington is discontinued I believe, why?Thanks.

Like as not, just for the usual reasons. Sales not keeping up, production capability better used elsewhere, and the profit margins not as wide as those on the easier to manufacture models.

Personally, I think the whole 'titanium' kick is a bit of genius marketing, selling a solution to something that was not really a problem.

Not as genius as the guys that started plating Ti. Nitride onto cheap Chinese drill bits and selling them at premium prices, but genius still.

because they are retarded. they'd rather replace it with a new model, 1/2lb heavier for $500 more.

kinda like dropping the Model 7 Stainless. Remington, WTF were you thinking?

pack around todBartell's .260 Ti 700 Edge and you'll see why they were awesome rifles.

I have a Remington Ti and when operating the bolt it feels like it has sand in it compared to a regular Remington BA..

I have owned two 700 Ti's. Actions are not as smooth as a regular 700, especially a chrome moly one. However they are not designed to be the smoothest, more accurate rifle out there. They are designed to be light to pack, and that they are

I like my current one, a 260 Rem in a McMillan Edge. 6 lbs all up with a 6x Leupold

Light they are and my .270 Ti has finally earned keeper status as of yesterday with a .397" 100m group and a 1.79" 200m group albeit with the lowly Hornady 150gr. bullet..
Sadly not near the murderous killing machine that a .260/TTSX/TSX combo is, eh..

Oh no! Poor Reindeer =(
What have you done?!?!?!
Don't you guys test it on puppets or something?

"...why?..." Ti is expensive stuff and doesn't get machined the same as chrome-moly. Mind you, sales not meeting the marketing department's projections is far more likely.

Nice deer, and good looking photo. I'd like a rifle like that one day.

I got a really good deal on mine a few years back and hated the thing with a passion for a while(couldn't get it to shoot). With a bit of work and some patience I got it dialed in with 150g TSX's. I don't think it will be leaving my safe anytime soon.

300 SAUM Ti:

The stock is now back to black so it matches my .260.

browning ti

Love my browning ti in .300 wsm Much less recoil and smoother action than my Rem 700 .300 win and so nice and light to carry. My only complaint is my daughter loves it too, so we argue over who gets to use it.
