Gunsmithing Custom Titanium Action?

Anybody ever heard of these guys? First I've seen of them, but a custom titanium action has some possibilities for a hunting/tactical rig. Not a bad price either. I would be fairly hesitant to drop that kind of money on a brand new product from an unknown company though.

According to them a short action would weigh .5 lbs less than a conventional steel and a long action would weigh .625 lbs less.

Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a Defiance. Anybody know how much a Defiance Long Action weighs compared to a Rem 700LA?

I cannot speak for the actions but the owner of the company, Tom Meyers, is good to go. They do make some excelent products. Tom sent me a trigger to try on a smallbore action and told me if I liked it send him a check, if not send the trigger back. That is a great way to do business. I did keep the trigger.

Oh ya, Tom Myers has been on the go for some time now. He wouldnt get into something that didnt work well. Im personally looking forward to getting my hands on a few of these. Tom would be good to go.

TAG for later!

I'm very interested, I've been wating to build a superlight for a while but never could justify spending 2k on a Rem Ti just to hack it up.

Wouldnt a steel bolts lugs wear out the raceways very quickly? Titanium is quite soft compared to say 4140
